How to keep your brain fit.
Monthly, do at least one of these:
- Read two books of at least 200 pages
- Spend at least 12 hours learning a new language
- Spend at least 12 hours learning to play a musical instrument
Weekly, do at least two of these:
- Play a game of chess (try to keep it going for at least 30 minutes)
- Do a crossword puzzle (completing at least 90 percent of the puzzle)
- Play a few hands of bridge
- Read an intellectually stimulating magazine
- Spend 30 minutes writing with your non-dominant hand (do not strain it)
- Write an epic poem
- Spend 30 minutes on brain exercises
Some brain exercise ideas:
- Choose a letter of the alphabet and think of names starting with that letter
- Try to do daily tasks with your eyes closed or using your non-dominent hand (make sure what you are doing is safe)
- Try to read upside down

I like this list! Much more inventive than others I've seen. And these things look like fun.
I'd say that the books could be less than 200 pages if they have a lot of five syllable words...
As to brain exercises this is something I'm particularly enthusiastic about. My company uses a scientifically proven brain training protocol that can increase fluid intelligence (problem-solving ability) by more than 40% in just 19 sessions of training.
I'd recommend people to keep an open mind and check it out: Brain Fitness Pro
