Brain health is just as important as a healthy body. You can exercise your brain just as you exercising your body. As little as 10 minutes a day can get your brain tuned up. A healthy brain gives you less change to develop Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and cognitive decline.
Eat smart to think smart.
Your diet contributes to a healthy brain. Foods high in DHA Omega-3, found in fish, nuts, fruit, beverages and supplements, help maintain a healthy brain. This is why people say fish is brain food. It really is.
Research indicates that keeping your brain active as you age may help to generate new brain cells. That old saying"Learn something new every day" should become your new goal. Attending a function once a month, such as lecture, coffee at the college, enrolling in continuing education classes, or picking up a new hobby, would be a great way to stimulate your brain.

Yes! Brain fitness exercises are just as important as keeping our bodies fit. There are many things that we can do to help keep our minds active and strong. Food, like you said is one of them.
