| SENIORS |
| Do mental exercises — crossword puzzles, word games, math problems. |
| Continue to exercise—not to the point of injury but enough to keep the joints moving. |
| Eat regularly. You may need to eat smaller amounts more frequently than previously. Eat protein for energy and brain food. |
| Limit your alcohol intake. Less is needed when the body gets older. The same goes for caffeine. |
| Do take a vitamin supplement (after checking with your medical adviser), especially one with B12 (to help with memory). |
| Make lists—why clutter your brain with information you can write down. |
| Be consistent about where you place important items. |
| Take time daily to reflect and think. |
| For each negative memory you have a positive one — focus on it. |
| Take prescribed medicine correctly. But also listen to your body. If you think a medicine is making you feel worse, tell the one who prescribed it. |
| If you need help, ask for it — without apology — it gives someone the chance to do a good deed. |
