WALKING

While all exercise is good for physical and mental health, many of us don't realize that walking can be just as effective as running or biking. Walking 20-30 minutes a day can calm and clear your mind to help improve focus.

PLAYING GAMES

You can boost your brainpower by playing games—digital or physical—that challenge and engage you. Examples include Sudoku, chess, riddles, and video games.

READING

Reading 15-30 minutes a day can strengthen your brain connections and improve memory.

SOCIALIZING

You can improve your concentration skills through positive conversations. By talking and listening to others, you promote your ability to block out distractions.

SLEEPING

Getting at least 7 hours of sleep a night is crucial in promoting brain health. Sleeping allows your brain to recharge, process, and store new information.
