That's why today, we're going to tell you about four simple exercises that can help preserve your memory, also,
you have a unique chance to check how fast your brain is let's begin
exercise number one:
multi-coloured text.
We're going to show you words written in different colors
Proceed to say aloud the name of the color in which each of the words on the list is written
Ready? Go!
I guess it isn't that easy to do than it might seem
Now, let's name each color again in Reverse order.
Ready? Go!
Did you manage to do it?
Expect they're going to be difficult at first
Since the sections responsible for tex perception and color perception are located in different hemispheres of the brain
Why is this exercise beneficial to your brain?
It helps to prevent alzheimer's disease by establishing new connections between the hemispheres and improves concentration and attention switching abilities.
exercise 2: Schulte table
Here's a simple table
focus on the number 19 in the center of the square
Your goal is to find the number 1 and then all the remaining numbers in ascending order fixing your gaze on each in turn
Let's give it a try. I'll give you 30 seconds for a start
How ya doing there?
Did you manage to find the remaining numbers keep going on!
only ten seconds left
Well done
This exercise increases the reception and processing of information speed and develops peripheral vision
Later on you can draw your own table. Don't forget to arrange the numbers in the cells randomly
Alternatively you can search for schulte tables on the internet
exercise number three: finger gestures
Arrange the fingers of the right hand so as to make the peace sign while,
simultaneously, making the okay sign with your left hand
Got it? Then change the arrangement of the fingers so that your left hand shows peace and your right hand shows okay.
You should repeat this exercise several times. Let's do it five times for a start
one
two
three
four
five
Was it easy for you then perform the exercise with both hands at once
Here are your ten seconds to try Ready? Go?
It wasn't that easy, right?
Yes, this exercise is a tricky one however
However, it is beneficial as it trains attention and develops the ability to switch from one task to another quickly.
exercise number four: By manual synchronous writing
for this exercise
You'll need two sheets of paper and a pair of easy-to-use writing utensils when everything is ready
Start drawing different geometric shapes with both hands at once
You can also write letters or words
Provided the number of characters is the same for either hand. Let's give it a try right now 10 seconds are all yours
Synchronous writing teaches your brain to handle multiple tasks simultaneously thus stimulating the activity of both hemispheres
finally here is some additional advice
A well-known Neuroscientist Lawrence Katz has developed a system of exercises to keep your brain
Maintaining its functions into a ripe old age, here are four tips from his books
One: try to perform mundane everyday rituals such as brushing your teeth or combing your hair using your non-dominant hand
2: while taking a shower or performing other routine activities do everything with your eyes closed
3: Frequently change the routes you use for commuting to work, going to shops or reaching other regular destinations
Or while watching a movie try turning off the sound and relying on the actor's gestures and movements to guess what they are talking about
