SENIOR LADY BRAIN FOOD

The saying which states “ use it or lose it”
is true. Retirement does not mean I sit at
home, do nothing, and become a recluse.
I must work hard to stay active and
stimulate my brain daily! This is necessary
to ward off getting Alzheimer's Disease. 
I know  genetics play a part in who gets 
Alzheimer's Disease in some cases. I am not in medical field. I've seen several documentaries on Alzheimer's Disease. 
Some studies found that staying active
and doing challenging puzzles helped
senior's brain function.

I am determined to stay active as long as
I can. I do outside activities even if am not feeling well.  My brain health is more important to me right now. I do all types of puzzles every day, go to the Senior Center weekly, and take some of the classes they offer.

Here is an article that I found very helpful.
I was already do most of the things they
suggested:
