BRAIN SPORT

BRAIN SPORTS

Exercise the brain as important as the sports body. With a brain sport, will form new nerve that can protect against dementia or dementia symptoms. Here are some ways you can do to exercise the brain.

Here are ten ways to train or exercise the brain:

1. Familiarize active as a lefty (on the left hand) and also right
Perform tasks with non-dominant hand, if the normally dominant right hand then use the left hand (lefty) and vice versa. For example when using a computer mouse, brushing teeth and tying shoes in the opposite direction. According to the Franklin Institute, the type of exercise is to strengthen existing neural connections and even form new nerve.

2. Reading
Reading can flex its muscles in the brain, good light reading (such as comics or magazines) as well as reading for information. And according to Dr. Nikolaos Scarmeas study in 2001, reading can help build "cognitive reserve" to delay the onset of dementia.

3. Play puzzle or crossword puzzle
Crossword, puzzles, Sudoku puzzles and other species, can train the brain, especially the left hemisphere, according to cognitive training center LearningRx. Add new strategies to effectively exercise the brain, such as solving crossword puzzles with an unusual theme.

4. Playing the game strategy
Strategy games like chess, monopoly or other computer games, will use the right brain that can help people to think more creatively.

5. Change routine
According to Lawrence Katz, professor of Neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center, changed routines and new ways of living can activate the brain connections that were previously inactive. Exercises that can be done for example, bathing with eyes closed or reset your office or desk.

6. Learning foreign languages
By learning a foreign language will enable the brain that has not been used since you started talking. A study in 2007 at York University in Toronto, found that use multiple languages to increase the blood supply to the brain to maintain the health of nerve connections.

7. Enjoy music
Besides listening to music, learn also to play a musical instrument. The experts also recommended to enable the two senses at once, such as listening to music and smell the flowers.


8. Physical Exercise
Physical exercise also can improve brain health, because it can increase blood flow to the brain. According to the Stanford Center on Longevity and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, physical training can improve attention, reasoning and memory.

9. Social Life
The brain can be trained with your social life, for example by visiting a friend. A 2006 study by Dr. David Bennett of Rush University Medical Center found that having a social network can provide protection against clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

10. Looking for a new hobby
Challenge your brain to learn new skills or things you've never done before. If you are not an artist, try to learn to paint or sculpt. If you can play piano, learn to play guitar. Find something new and interesting to be able to keep the brain remains active.
