The researchers who wrote the book Keep Your Brain Young found that shopping was a great way to do just that! Shopping keeps people physically and mentally active, and also encourages people to maintain a role in daily life, such as grocery shopping. Shopping includes walking, moving, lifting products, trying on clothes and carrying shopping bags. In terms of mental activity, shoppers compare prices, search for bargains and make choices. A successful shopping trip brings about a sense of accomplishment. So get out there and shop and stay young! For more information about staying active as you age, click here.
