Practical tips for baby boomers to help maintain a sharp memory include staying physically active like walking, biking and even dancing which boosts blood flow to your brain; engage in mental activities like reading, solving puzzles, learning new skills and staying curious; stay organized using calendars and lists to reduce mental clutter; prioritize Sleep for memory consolidation; eat a healthy Diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains which support brain health; and protect your head by wearing helmets during activities that pose a risk of head injury.
