Life Long Learning

Mind Exercise

Western medicine has found that the brain if not exercised, will deteriorate as does the body.  In many traditions in the East, as one grew older, one was to take a greater interest in education and spirituality.  Today, seniors are going back to school learning new tricks as the Western saying goes.  Without learning and expanding of the mind, the brain will digress.  Alzheimer's disease is a disease that appears to be slowed somewhat by continuing to learn. 

These are some general rules for helping the brain to get its exercise: 

  • Reading
  • Classes at Adult Education
  • Classes at a Community College
  • Volunteer for Adult-Youth Programs
  • Become a Mentor
