Tip 2: Make sure to make time for friends and fun

Whenever you are thinking of ways to enhance your memory, have you considered “serious” activities like going for the New York Times crossword puzzle or learning chess strategy, or go for a more relaxed pastime such as hanging out with your friends or just watching a funny movie? If you are like most people, it is likely the former. However, many studies have shown that a life with many friends and fun have cognitive benefits.

According to research, partaking in a meaningful relationship and having a strong support system are necessary not only to for emotional health, but for the brain health too. A recent study conducted at Harvard School of Public Health had shown that individuals having the most active social life had the slowest rate when it comes to memory decline.
