Memory Day

Tomorrow, Saturday, is Memory Day.

Will you remember this tomorrow?  It might depend on what you do to keep up your memory.  

As we age, our memory definitely changes.  It’s not as easy to remember tasks, appointments and maybe even bills.

The good news is that if you are having memory issues you can start to do things to help improve it.

Some things you have probably heard about before.  Get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet with veggies, fruits and grains.

You can make a list or keep a day planner to help with appointments and things you want to get done.

Exercise by walking or using light weights to build up your muscles.  Be active.

Your brain likes to be used so keep using it by doing crossword puzzles, get lost in a great book or get a new hobby.  You are never too old to learn something new!

Stay connected socially.  Depression is very real as you age but if you have friends and social interactions you’ll stay happier.

Private Home Health Care keeps calendars and lists to help stay organized.  Find something that works for you if you feel your memory is changing.
