Mental Performance
We all want to stay mentally fit into old age. Fortunately, there are several ways to achieve this. Just like a muscle, the brain can be trained.
It doesn't matter whether you try to learn a poem (again) every day, to practice on an instrument or to study computer programs. Try to learn something new for 30 minutes every day. All of this helps to maintain mental performance.
Three tips from Dr.Dünner
Stay Active
All forms of physical activity keep the mind sharp. Memory performance can be significantly improved through activities like Nordic walking and gymnastic exercises within just six months. Aim for 10,000 steps daily, and you'll notice an increase in your fitness level.
Maintain Social Contacts
Maintaining social connections is crucial. A Swedish study has shown that loneliness and lack of social interaction increase the risk of developing dementia by almost 60%.
Eat healthy
Consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables, eggs, nuts, lean meat, and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of dementia.
