Lesson 4: Healthy Brain Habits
4c. Keep Learning
Formal education is a great way to stay mentally active!
When we learn a new skill or piece of knowledge, our brain forms new connections and new neurons.
This can help reduce cognitive decline and the risk of getting dementia.
Here are some ways you can keep learning:
Take a class at your local community college
Read a book about a subject that interests you
Learn a new skill, like sewing, learning a new language, playing chess, or cooking
