Try to learn new things that interests you, but you don’t have any idea about; like a foreign language or a musical instrument. Keep yourself engaged in tasks that require good communication and organization. Read books, newspapers.
Do things which will keep the brain active like solving crossword puzzle, number games like scrabble, playing card games. While driving try to take new routes; routes about which you don’t have any idea. Thus by staying mentally active, you can prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
