All the things we gain as we grow older, maturity, wisdom, wealth, would be much easier to enjoy if only the indignity of a waning mind didn't accompany them.
If you were always really proud of your near-perfect memory, the older you get, the more you will tend to forget.
You still remember things perfectly from a long time ago when your memory was sharp; it's just that recent happenings just don't seem to stay in there anymore.
Researchers have happened upon some pretty effective ways to slow down that decline though.
Follow these brain exercises below and you can easily reverse any recent decline and operate at your peak for another 10 or 12 years.
A workout is is a great way to stimulate your brain.
Exercise is great for the memory.
It helps your brain produce new neurons in the Dentate Gyrus area of the brain that is easily the most important to your memory.
Quite contrary to the belief that we can't grow brain cells once we lose them, we can grow them at will, the more we exercise.
One of the best forms of exercise for this kind of brain growing activity happens to be dancing.

People who drink 12 ounces of fruit or vegetable juices every day are less likely to get dementia says recent research.
Fruit and vegetable juices contain polyphenols.
These antioxidants protect your brain from all the afflictions that come with a tendency to Alzheimer's or dementia.
Just remember - your brain is mostly water.
Supplying it with enough water to keep its volume can only help.
And finally, laughter is great medicine not just for your heart, it's great for your brain too.
The mere expectation of something funny brings down your brains levels of stress chemicals like epinephrine and cortisol.
That loosens up blood vessels and gets your brain a lot more blood than it otherwise would.
It's simple equation isn't it - more blood, more fluids, more brainpower.
