Brain Exercise 1
Close Your Eyes

Before starting, check all safety and required caution. Below are some examples of where you can try this exercise. Begin with the one you feel comfortable doing then take the challenging one. Repeat that for 20 days. Try to be creative in other everyday tasks if you wish.  Remember to change the assignment when you feel like there is not much challenge.

Closed Eyes

Without looking, choose clothing, shoes, and so on, with matching or contrasting textures.  Use not only your fingers but also your cheeks, lips, and even your feet—they’re all packed with receptors for fine touch.

Then try it one with eye close!!

Brain Exercise 2

Unhealthy Daily Routines

The thinking is that anything good for the heart is good for the brain, and we don't do enough good things. The big things are stress, exercise, diet, and sleep, but the good news is we can make our brains better.

When you think of stresses in your life, you should know that the stress hormone cortisol depresses the growth of nerve cells and the connections between them. Then there's sleep. Time and time again, researchers emphasize the importance of a good night's rest. It's true. Sleep is important, because it's when we lock down our memories and process them. So, if we're not getting enough sleep, it's bad for our ability to remember things.

Five Simple Brain Exercises

The premise of these brain aerobics or neurobics is to do familiar things, but do them slightly differently.

Switch Hands

So, a really easy thing to do is to try one of your daily activities -- brushing your teeth or dialing a phone number -- with your non-dominant hand.

I used my left hand to brush my teeth this morning and it's a lot harder than you realize. I really had to concentrate. And basically, what that does, apparently, is strengthen those pathways and connections in the opposite side of your brain.

 

Close Your Eyes

Try a safe activity, like eating or showering, with your eyes closed. That forces you to use and strengthen your other senses. Most of what your brain does is process what your senses are bringing in. So, closing your eyes forces the brain to process that information in new ways. But one thing you obviously shouldn't do with your eyes closed is drive.

Play Games

Games help you strategize, but the brain is particularly stimulated by multi-tasking. So, play games with other people that require you to strategize and interact socially at the same time. Examples include board, word and card games.

Don't Get Repetitive, Do Something Different

Introducing novelty is crucial. Your brain doesn't need anything complicated; it just needs something new. So, take a new way to work, or sit in a different seat. It forces you to look at the world from a new perspective.

Watch What You Consume

You want to make sure to consume brain-boosting foods or supplements. Try antioxidants in food, such as berries, tea, and leafy greens. And you also want to consume fish oils, which also come in supplements.

 How frequently must you do your neurotics?

We used to say it takes 21 tries to learn a new habit. But brain exercise is something you should be doing constantly throughout the day. Try to integrate it into all of your daily activities. We have to constantly reroute activities throughout the day. But a lifelong habit of challenging the brain gives you a greater reserve of mind-muscle to use. Think of it as your retirement account. Add to your 401k of the brain so you have more to draw from when you need it.

 It doesn't matter how much mental exercise you do if you're on certain medications because they could cause memory issues. What about those?

The sad truth is that you can do everything right and still get Alzheimer's disease. But there are some medications that might be helping your body, but hurting your brain. It's worth finding out from your doctor if you can do without some of them, or simply take them on a short-term basis. It's best to check with your health care provider if you're on muscle relaxers, antispasmodics (which many older people take for spastic colon or bladder issues) or, if you take any of the older antidepressants. There are also a lot of over-the-counter medications, such as antihistamines and anti-diarrheals, that can impair mental function and shouldn't be taken long-term.

PLAY A NAME THAT SOUNDS

On an old radio show, contestants would try to identify sounds the host would play for them. You can make up your own after-dinner version of this game. During the week, record sounds from around the house or park or work. Play them back for the family and have each person try to “name that sound.” Or buy a sound-effects CD or cassette (there are lots available) and play the game.

Neurobics
Exercises to Sharpen the Brain
to sharpen the health

Introduction:

In today’s era, we are experiencing longer lifespans and extended working years, continually absorbing more information as we age. Many have adopted physical exercise routines to maintain bodily health and vigor. However, without parallel mental exercises, there is a missed opportunity to maintain cognitive fitness. NEUROBICS is your gateway to sustaining a sharp and agile mind, promoting mental youthfulness and flexibility. It is essential in fortifying mental reserves, ensuring that your cognitive abilities remain sharp into advanced age.

Core Concept:

Drawing upon groundbreaking research from premier neurobiology laboratories globally, Neurobic exercises are designed to combat the impacts of cognitive aging. This innovative exercise program stands out as the inaugural regimen substantiated by scientific principles, focusing on the brain's capacity to generate natural growth elements known as neurotrophins.

Methodology:

The essence of Neurobics is to engage your five sensory perceptions and emotional senses in unconventional manners, prompting a deviation from habitual routines. This approach aids the brain in synthesizing its essential nutrients, fortifying, conserving, and augmenting brain cells. The objective is to stimulate the senses and emotions in novel ways, fostering the production of neurotrophins, which are pivotal in neural health and growth.

Conclusion:

Embrace NEUROBICS to navigate through the journey of life with a resilient and nimble mind, ensuring that your mental acuity remains unyielding and sharp, allowing you to experience life to its fullest extent.
