Five Golden Principles of Elder Health and Living for an Enriched Life

Promote Cognitive Health

"Use it or lose it" doesn't just apply to physical activity; it's equally pertinent for brain function. Just as regular exercise keeps the body fit, mental stimulation keeps the brain sharp. Cognitive activities help slow cognitive decline and help elders stay mentally alert. Crossword puzzles, reading, art crafts, learning a new language, or even simple memory games can help stimulate brain function. Furthermore, continuous learning has the power to imbue a sense of accomplishment and life satisfaction.
