Dr. Phillip Stieg says, "You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old." He specializes in cerebrovascular disorders and believes the secret to aging well centers around humor, interests, and relationships enjoyed when young.
Keeping a sense of humor and staying cognitively stimulated energize the brain. George Burns lived with humor. He told jokes daily and lived to be 100.
Mental stimulation of all kinds preserves brain cells and can generate new cells and connections.
Move into awareness. Mindfulness occurs in the present moment, perpetually on the crest of the ongoing wave of passing time.
Keep your brain active with silliness too. Try these:
The father and son light a fire in the fireplace. "Are we pyromaniacs?" asked the son. "Yes, we arson," the father replied.
Why did the potato cross the road? He saw a fork in the road up ahead.
When a mouse raced into the kitchen, I caught her before the refrigerator.
Let humor reign for a youthful brain.
