Today we continue with more tips on how to keep your brain healthy and active.

Reading is healthier. This seems like an obvious one, but reading is good for you. Reading makes your imagination work while you explore worlds of fantasy. Imagination is a sign that our brain waves are working correctly.

Crossword puzzles and sudokus. Solving puzzles like these makes you mind sharper.

Words and more words. Try to learn and memorize one new word a day from the dictionary.

Walnuts. Surprise, walnuts not only look like a mini-brain but help feed your brain. They’re brain-food! These yummy nuts are good for your mind and are an anti-aging food.

New activities. Do you want to learn how to give yourself a French manicure? Do you want to learn to bake a pie? Have you always wanted to learn to dance? Leave your fears behind and try something new. Learning new things is good for your brain.

If you can do a few of the above a few times a week, you will notice how your much more agile your mind becomes.

Just like any muscle in the body that needs to be worked every day to stay in shape, the brain too, needs to be flexed!

But, how do we give our mind a work-out? Well, it is not the kind of exercise that is going to make you sweat. But don’t worry, we are not going to make you do any complicated mathematical problems. Happy

You just need to do the following on a daily basis:

Say good bye to the routine. Routines and doing the same thing day in and day out is boring. Also, once you are used to something the brain has a chance to relax. So, to work the brain change things up. Rearrange the furniture in your room, go to class another way that you don’t normally go, and shop at new stores.

Use your memory. Maybe mobile phones and agendas are useful but they do not help your brain stay agile. Instead, try to remember all your most important phone numbers and addresses.

Right or Left? If you are right-handed then shake things up by eating or writing with your left hand. Do the same thing if you are left-handed. Forcing your brain to train your ‘unexperienced’ hand to do

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

Made from nothing more than a small, round seedless watermelon, this spooky cerebral creation is bound to turn heads.

Ingredients
  • 1 small seedless watermelon

Instructions
  1. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the entire green rind, exposing the inner white rind.
  2. Slice off the bottom of the melon to create a flat base that will keep it from rolling. With a toothpick, outline squiggly furrows that resemble the folded surface of a brain.
  3. Finally, carve narrow channels along the tracings with a sharp paring knife (a parent’s job) to expose the pink fruit beneath the rind.
