Tips for developing an exercise plan for your brain

You know that eating a sensible diet and getting plenty of exercise help your body healthy and strong. But did you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter?

Studies show that when the brain is compelled to do something new, it creates new neural pathways（神经通路）. The more pathways you have, the faster you can think and the better memory you will have.

Ten steps toward a smarter brain

Limit your TV time

Watching an average TV show requires very little brain power and brings the same result as neglecting physical exercise. Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do. If you watch TV, choose something educational and informative.

Travel

Traveling to a new country forces you to see and do things in a new way, providing stimulation（刺激） to the brain.

Learn a new language

Acquiring a new language involves different learning methods. Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps prevent memory problems in later years.

Master a new subject

Each week, select an animal, a bird or a fish, and read everything you can about it. Stretch （最大限度利用）your brain as you become an expert on the subject.

Use your non-dominant hand

If you are right-handed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed. Doing familiar things in a new way will cause your brain to create new neural networks.

Read often

As you read, take the time to look up people or places that aren’t familiar. Reading expands your vocabulary if you search for words and definitions that you don’t know.

Do puzzles

According to the Mayo Clinic, doing sudoku and crossword puzzles keeps the brain sharp into your senior years.

Calculate while you shop

As you put things in your grocery cart, total everything in your head. See how much close you get to the actual total.

Play video games

Studies have found that certain video games force you to use critical decision-making skills and can even impro
