A Gym For Your Mind
Want to have the kind of mind that can recall directions with MapQuest-like accuracy? Get moving.
Take a walk, go for a bike ride, hit the gym. Exercise makes extra space in the "scratch pad" part of your brain, also known as your working memory. It's where you jot down bits of information that you need to act on immediately, such as which street to turn onto or what the chef's daily specials are.
RealAge Benefit: Exercising regularly can make your RealAge as much as 9 years younger.
