I just had a “senior moment”… Even though I’m pretty far from being a senior.

I lost my car keys.

Searched for them high and low. Looked on my desk, under my desk, in my desk… Then I emptied out my briefcase, and finally went back to see if I left them in the bathroom. I couldn’t remember where they were.

I returned to my office, heaved a big sigh, and shoved my hands in my pockets. Bingo. My keys were in my pocket!

Stuff like this bothers me. I know it’s not a big deal, but I take it as a sign I might be slipping a little, mentally. I feel pretty sharp, have a great memory…

But every once in a while one of these little incidents reminds me that I’ve passed the 40 mark, and I need to pay attention to this stuff.

Reverse aging in brain

I immediately went into research mode to see what I could do to get back my edge. To see if it’s possible to reverse the aging process in your brain. Here are three tips that I found:

  1. Exercise for your brain. To remain healthy and function properly, your brain needs oxygen. Oxygen helps transport information around your brain so you can remember things, and think clearly. How do you get more oxygen to your brain? Breathe! The best thing you could do for your brain is to get some aerobic exercise.
  2. Sleep! Every part of your brain function is enhanced when you get enough sleep. It’s during deep, restful sleep, when the nerves and cells of your hippocampus are refreshed… And that’s the area most crucial to your memory.
  3. Get fishy. Omega-3 fatty acids, most easily consumed in fish, are recognized as being a great source of nutrition for your brain. Fish oil supplements also work, but the real thing is best.

Those are just three quick steps you can take that will enhance your memory and brain function. I saw improvements in under a week.

I’d love to hear how these tips have helped you. And if you’d like to take it a little further, you may be surprised to know there’s lots you can do to make your brain young again and get your edge back.

For instance, did you know there are foods you are probably eating every day that actually damage your memory and your brain?
