AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

I walk at least 5 miles a day to keep my body and brain in shape.  I also teach students from kindergarten to 12th grade as an EC Homebound Teacher.  Being around young people keeps my brain active. 

Trying to figure out how to stop following this post

It is very important to me to keep my brain active, especially since I retired. I love taking online classes.  I just finished a Spanish course and am soon beginning an Anatomy and Physiology course, even though it was the hardest close I took when I was in college!  The games on AARP are loads of fun, as are the challenges of quizzes and video activities that enable us to earn points.  My sisters and I enjoy doing trivia challenges, such as listing all the states and their capitals.  This summer my sister and I created learning activities for my 6-year-old niece to keep her skills sharp during summer break.  Another way I keep my brain active is by reading a variety of books and discussing them in book club.  I look forward to reading what others are doing so that I can incorporate even more brain-building enjoyment.

The way I keep my brain active is that when I get up every morning I take my vitamins, I eat a heart healthy breakfast, go for a walk with my dog or a 15-30 exercise . I do fun time  by playing video games with my 10 year old grandson, watch a movie or TV, and I also help him study for a lesson or with his homework. I do leisure time where I like to go window shopping and just take in the scenery , I'm more of a visual kind of person. I enjoy conversating with the sales associate about different things in there store help keeps me knowledgeable. To help stimulate my brain with some enjoyment a new excitement I go on vacation with family and friends where I travel the world to different countries I fly and take cruises. I try to keep my brain active by staying engaged by living my life to the fullest.

I love the AARP site it has so much information that I read and find very interesting on what I can learn about. I play games and I love doing the quizzes on the site keeps me entertained. I visit AARP site 2-4 times a day for information and quizzes.

I watch videos and do quizzes on the AARP rewards every single day and travel experience a lot of  different places planning To stay young

Keeping my brain active is really important to me. I do the NYTimes Crossword and other puzzles every morning. I do 3 different crosswords on the AARP puzzle site every day. I also am learning Spanish on Duolingo, because I know that learning a new language is a real brain exercise! I have two standing lunch dates every week to keep me socially active, too.

To keep my brain actively engaged, I do all of the following:  Eat well, most of time, incorporating colorful fruit and veggies high in antioxidants, limit meat consumption and aim for mostly plan-based food.  I'm a voracious reader.  I'm an active pilates/reformer participant.  My bright and sunny home/work environment helps bring energy and beauty to my brain.  I choose to feed my brain with everything that stimulates and is positive and productive from movies to music.  I believe in the power of a spiritual life.  Sleep, for me, is a priority and necessary competent to my brain function, and daily interaction with all that AARP offers for the aging  and partakes assist in the health of the brain and subscribe to as much as I can from video presentations, dance, cooking demonstrations and just reading the wealth of life supporting information.

I read AARP articles as well as others. Take your quizzes & watch the videos.I watch educational TV or programs that make me think.

I read and play AARP games every day (about to do that now).  Social interaction a couple of times per week is good, too.  Finally, the care for and company of pets helps.  Moderate exercise (stairs, walks, chores) makes a difference.  So does a cheerful outlook and even temperament.  As Spock on Star Trek was fond of proclaiming, "Live long and prosper."
