If you can play charades while sleeping, it's time to turn to a new challenge in order to get the best exercise for your brain. Being curious about the world around you will make your mind agile and efficient. Using the following methods can help you exercise your brain.

1. Read a book

Choose a book about a brand-new theme. Read a novel that happened in Egypt and study finance. There will be many excellent and popular non-fiction books, which can not only teach you relevant knowledge, but also make you feel happy. Become an expert on new things every week. Jump out of the familiar reading topic. If you often read history books, try a contemporary novel. Read foreign works, classic and random books. Your mind will be tempered by being immersed in different times, cultures and people. Not only that, you can also get interesting stories.

2. Playing games

Playing games is a good way to challenge your brain. Sudoku (a number game), word guessing and video games can all promote your thinking speed and memory. These games rely on logic, word skills, mathematics or more. At the same time, they are all very interesting. When you spend about 15 minutes playing these games every day instead of a few hours, you will benefit a lot.

3. Use your other hand

Do things with the hand you don't have much control over. If you are left-handed, open the door with your right hand. If you are right-handed, try to use the key with your left hand. This simple thing will give you a new way of thinking. Wear the watch on the other hand to remind yourself to change.

4. Memorize phone numbers

When we make a phone call, the mobile phone records every number. No one remembers phone numbers anymore, but it's a memory skill. Try to memorize a new phone number every day.

5. Eat for your brain

Your brain needs you to eat healthy fat. Pay attention to cod liver oil and eat wild salmon, nuts (such as walnuts) and seeds (such as flax seeds and olive oil). Eat more of these foods and less fat and satiety. Eliminate trans fats from your diet completely.

6. Break away from convention

We like convention. We can do those hobbies and entertainments for hours on end. But the more things become habits, the less the brain will be used. To help your brain stay young, challenge it. Change the usual route to the grocery store, open the door with your other hand, and eat dessert first. All this will force your mind to wake up from the habit and concentrate again.

7. Take a different road

Wherever you go, take a different road. This small change helps the brain to practice special memory and sense of direction. In order to change the daily route, try to go to the grocery store from different directions.

8. Learn a new skill

Learning a new skill can exercise different areas of the brain. Let your memory work, learn new sports and connect things in different ways. Reading Shakespeare, learning to cook and building a plane with toothpicks will challenge your mind and make you think.

9. List

A list is a good thing. Making lists can help us coordinate various affairs. List all the places you have been to, the foods you have eaten, the best gifts you have received, and the memories that touch you every day. But don't rely on them. Make your shopping list, but try to shop without them. When you put everything you remember in your mind into the shopping cart, check it with the list again. Make a list of "things to do" in the same way.

1. Choose a new skill

Find something that interests you. You can do it easily at home without spending too much. For example, taking pictures with a digital camera, learning to draw, learning a new musical instrument, learning a new way of cooking or writing are all good choices.
