A few quick ways to keep your Brain sharp.

Number one, Information. And the modern web surfing way of gathering new facts and figures has demonstrated to stimulate the brain.

Exercise. A recent study linked cardiovascular exercise to a larger hippocampus-a brain structure vital to memory function. The brain tends to shrink with age and a larger hippocampus helps maintain a stronger memory later in life. Simply walking can do the trick.

Stay Positive. Stress and negative thoughts weigh on the brain so kicking these to the curb will boost your brain. Achieving a small goal, a brisk walk or a good laugh are all good ways to turn negatives into positives.

Green Tea. Enjoying a cup of this antioxidant rich brew protects against cognitive impairment.

Mind Games. Puzzles, books and problem solving are beneficial ways to keep your brain sharp as well.
