Healthy Aging & Caregiving Tips
==========
Here’s a quick brain health exercise to help your memory. Try it! It’s fun and will only take a few minutes.
-
Using a kitchen timer or your watch, write down as many four letter words as you can think of in four minutes.
-
Now write as many five letter words as you can think of in two minutes.
-
Six letter words will be more difficult- but give it a try!
Usually, speed is not as important as accuracy in an exercise like this, but helping your mind do a little “race walking” is beneficial! Have fun and good luck!
