Walking – “Regular brisk walking three times a week increases the size of brain regions linked to planning and memory, a study has shown.” (From Guardian dot com).

Puzzles, games and reading.

I play a Mahjong game on my iPads.  It is a tile-based matching game.

I listen to audiobooks during my morning walks.

I like to read.  But, I haven't done that much lately.  I need to get back to reading.  I also like word puzzles and picture puzzles.What do you do to keep your mind active?

Can you answer this puzzle?  Do you have any to share?

I meditate to slow down, bc my mind is too active.If I'm around cognitivelyy challenged people for too long, though, I will read books. I even read a book on quantum physics,not my thing, due to lacking the intellectual stimulation I needed then.

i like to go and play trivia once or twice a week at local bars/restaurants. it is so much fun, you can win prizes, and it is healthy, friendly competition. it keeps your brain on the ball.

i also like playing words with friends and dice with buddies on my phone or tablet. i also get REMIND magazine and that has a lot of great entertainment nostalgia and all types of quizzes and puzzles. it comes out monthly.

I still work a full time job at 68 and two part time non-paying jobs pro bono. 

If it doesn't drive me crazy it will keep my brain young, anyway.

Play Scrabble on the internet and card games.  Read books.  I also buy the Find-the-Word books.

I also attend OLLI classes in my city. They are a wonderful opportunity and I've learned a lot on a wide variety of topics. They are my favorite thing about retirement so far. 

I play games on the computer, do crossword puzzles, volunteer in an office one day a week and read a lot.
