Brain Boosters

"94% of people volunteering said it improved their mood." survey by United Health Group and the Optum Institute

According to the author of Your Best Brain Ever:  A Complete Guide and Workout, Cynthia R. Green, Ph.D., as we age we become less able to sustain our attention and remain nimble in our thinking.  She says that even 10 minutes a day doing certain things can improve these brain functions. 

Ways to boost your brain functioning include:

Wear your watch upside down.  This challenges the brain to process information in a new way.
Play jacks.  This requires a person to stay focused and think quickly and nimbly.
Doodle:  Because most of us use language so much, doing something that requires visual skills causes a different area of the brain to function.
