Read or Watch, Then Discuss

We rely on our brains for everything, yet we often don’t think about taking care of them. Luckily, it is quite
easy to look after our brains. Most of the things we do for our bodies, such as following a good diet and taking
exercise are also good for our brains.

Reading a book or even watching TV or movies can be good for your brain – if you learn something new and
think it over afterward. Even better, talk about it with other people. This helps you make sense of the
information on a deeper level.

With other words we can say that Discuss, Debate, Decide

Get engaged in a conversation or debate, do more in-depth searching online or try anything that requires you
to learn about a topic and make an informed decision. You train your brain stimulation

Any time you connect with others, you expose yourself to new ideas and other ways of thinking about things.
But you can get the most brain benefits from spending time with people obviously different from yourself.
Intentionally seek out others who have different interests or careers, or are from different social or cultural
environments. This opens you up to new perspectives and ideas which will stimulate your mental growth.

Talking with other people has its own brain-boosting benefits. You could join a book club or have friends over
to watch a movie, then discuss it.

Also, Reading relieves tension and stress, which is brain-cell killers because it’s a form of escapism. Research
has also shown that using your imagination is a great way to train your brain because you force your mind to
‘picture’ what you are imagining. Reading is a great way to trigger your imagination! after reading if we start
discussing what we have read it is twice as useful for the work of our brain

"When you have conversations with other people, you're getting feedback from them on how you're doing
mentally," Werdiger says, "and you're forced to consider what you're saying and how you're behaving."

This is especially important for older people who spend a lot of time alone. Try to see friends or family
regularly to avoid loneliness and depression, which have been linked to lower brain function.
