3. Maintain Your Brain
One in eight older adults (age> 65 years) in the United States and some other countries suffer from Alzheimer's disease, whereas some cognitive decline is a normal part of aging. Studies have shown that lifestyles that stimulate cognitive stimulation through active learning will slow down cognitive decline.
Tip: Never stop learning and challenge your mind. Take dance lessons, learn a new language, attend a lecture at a local university, learn to play a musical instrument, or read a book, for Muslims to try to memorize the Qur'an.
4. Build Social Relationships
Nearly 30% of parents who live alone and live alone feel the loneliness of the heavy. Changes in life such as retirement, health problems, or loss of a spouse, can lead to social isolation.
Tips: Always keep in touch with your family and friends, especially after experiencing significant life changes. Schedule regular time to meet friends and family over tea, eat together once a week or do other activities together. Invite other friends who may feel lonely or isolated.
5. Enough Sleep
Humans can be more resilient with no food than without sleep. Parents need as much sleep as other adults, seven to nine hours per night. Sleep deprivation can lead to depression, irritability, increased risk of falling, and memory problems.

Tips: We can not completely avoid stressful situations but we can learn good techniques to cope with stress. Take care of yourself when you are stressed with enough sleep, exercise, and eat nutritious food. Talk to people you trust or who can advise you on your stress, and try to do some relaxation techniques, such as circular breathing, yoga, or meditation and if you are a Muslim wake up to a third of a night praying taha Jud. Remember to always keep things in perspective, try to accept and behave in a way that you can not control.

8. Maintain Health
Much of our health is not controlled by the health care system but by our own actions, our environment, social factors. Also do not completely rely on a doctor because a doctor may not be 100% perfect. Medical errors are possible. The more patients who play a role in maintaining and caring for their own health, the more they are satisfied with the care they get.
