Exercises to ward off dementia
Recite the alphabet backwards. Keep practising until you can do this fluently.
Play a game of chess every day. If you don't know how - then learn! If you can't find a partner, try the many electronic versions that are available.
Do brain teasers or the daily crossword. Or Su Doku the Japanese puzzle that's 'the biggest thing since the Rubik's Cube' (apparently). Number and word games are ideal brain exercises.
Take up a musical instrument. Even if it seems difficult or embarrassing, this is crucial to your mental health, so give it a go.
Get a book and learn each note, then begin to learn simple tunes. Practise every day. And, repeat after me, 'You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!'
Memorise a poem or song lyric every week. As the weeks go by, build up a bigger and bigger stockpile or remembered poems. Just think how impressed your friends will be!
Pick up a book and turn it upside down. Now try to read from the bottom to the top. You brain will really be stretched with this one, as you struggle to grasp words and sentences.
