one of your greatest concerns is losing your mental sharpness. I know that is

congress and on the supreme court.
The brain is like a muscle, if you exercise it
will remain strong.
Here are a
few things you can do to keep your mind sharp as you age.

proper diet is important for physical and mental health. Certain foods are
great for the brain.

new things. There are plenty of ways to
