5 tips from Harvard University to train your brain

Harvard University offers valuable tips to help you train and improve your brain.

Your brain can continue to learn and grow as you age, a process called brain plasticity. But you need to train it regularly to keep it sharp.

As you get older, your memory and thinking skills may become harder to manage. To prevent this, it's important to keep building your brain's capacity.

Research shows that physical exercise can improve brain functions like memory, concentration, and problem-solving. 

Brain training doesn’t always have to be physical. Creative activities like painting, learning an instrument, or writing can also boost cognitive function.

To train your brain well, choose activities that are challenging, complex, and new. These activities engage your brain and promote growth.

A good brain training activity should push you to improve.

Complex activities that involve problem-solving or creativity are great for brain training.
