Aging can bring memory problems. People with some forgetfulness can do things to manage it and stay healthy.

Write it Down

Using memory tools such as calendars, notepads and to-do lists can help you remember tasks and keep you organized.

Keep Your Mind Active

Hobbies and stimulating activities such as spending time with family, volunteering, reading, dancing and singing can keep you active and happy.

Exercise

Lack of physical activity can bring on illnesses such as diabetes and depression – which harm the brain. Brisk walks can help manage depression and improve brain function.
