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
