The following ideas are suggested as ways that we can stay young by challenging our minds and hearts:

1. Try new ways to exercise. Dance!

2. Love your plants, cultivate a garden, play with and love animals.

3. Eat more vegetables (said to slow down brain decline).

4. Mentor a person or teach a lesson.

5. Have fun and most of all, laugh (don’t take things so seriously).

6. Live in the moment (focus on what you are doing right now).

7. Read an interesting book, learn a new idea, or try a new skill.

8. Do crossword puzzles or brain teasers that challenge you.

9. Go with the flow and be more spontaneous (do something a different way).
