There are a group of older ladies I know who discuss this in their church group! They have signs on their refrigerators that remind them to eat properly, exercise, and exercise their minds!! All three things help keep your mind young (younger)!

I play video games.

I suspect that even participating in internet forum discussions is a positive form of brain exercise.

Keep moving! Even if it's not very fast.
Interesting article...how they chose those three ages. I've passed one of them.

And music! Lots of it!
And good smelling stuff that makes your brain remember things, like chocolate chip cookies.
I noticed that every Friday there was soft serve ice cream at the Mennonite Manor where mom was. One of the nurses said that soft serve always brings people back to their happy place when they were young.
So more ice cream

You should see all that is prescribed for early dementia. None of it works. I felt like my mom was a guinea pig. Took her off all of it, and she still had dementia, but she wasn't on all the drugs that were doing her harm. Rigastigmine was one they tried, didn't help her memory, made her woozy and gave her constant UTI's. Another drug was an epilepsy drug.
