Calm Down -- Stress seems to be the main cause of memory problems. When you think your memory is declining due to age, it could simply be that you have too much going on.
Exercise – A 2011 University of Arizona study of healthy people ages 50 to 89 found that people who exercise showed less decline in brain function over time than “couch potatoes”. The increased blood flow to the brain during and after a workout may help.
Make Friends – Social interaction boosts brain function, possibly because it requires effort from many areas.
