So is it true for all human organs?
Think about someone who never exercised in life or did any hard work. what is the state of his muscles? Weak and often plumpy. muscles follow the same rule Use it or Lose It.
So how about the big ol’ Brain? If you don’t use it often enough, you sure ain’t gonna keep it …
Scientists have determined that if the brain is not stimulated through various brain exercises, neuronal and neuron connections die. So what types of brain exercises can keep you sharp way into old age? Deferring exercises stimulate different areas of the brain. Some exercises stimulate areas of the brain which stimulate the emotional parts which help us develop skills in communication and cooperation with others, while others stimulate areas of the brain which handle analytical thinking, including dealing with numbers and logical thinking.

So How do you exercise your Brain?

Giving your Brain a work out is very easy. you need to help brain form new neuro cortical connections. New connections are forged when you creating new habits, have new experiences and refresh the old and mix the new ones, like mixing of different fruits in a blender.

If you are typical left brained person try taking some painting classes or singing classes that stimulate your right brain. If you are right brained person, try your hand at solving puzzles or math games.

Learning a new language or new musical instruments  is one of the best whole brain activity which boosts left-right brain coordination. This is the best way to gym your brain.
Learning something new is a fantastic way to activate new neurons and neural connections. This literally grows your brain.

An interesting fact scientists have noticed, is that the brain is one of the few parts of the body that seems to resist aging. As you exercise your brain and put it to good use. Giving it a variety of intellectual stimulation, it grows well the rest of the body ages. Clearly, you can keep your mind young and yourself highly intelligent by continually using brain exercises that test your skills in the challenge you to explore new things. As an added benefit, such brain exercises have demonstrated the ability to counter the development of certain brain disorders associated with old age.

It is true that as we age, we tend to be more forgetful of where we placed our car keys or the name of someone we just met. While age affects short-term memory, it seems that the long-term memory is not affected even after a severe brain disorder. Doesn’t it make sense to make your goal to improve your memory with brain exercises? There is an abundance of puzzles, projects and quizzes that you can try that can also be found online. For more brain teasers you take on, the more capacity your brain will have to serve you and the longer it will do so.
