It is a fact that when you get older, things deteriorate. Muscles atrophy, reaction time decreases and senses dull. It is possible to lessen the affect aging can have by keeping these things sharp. Muscles are obvious, just continue to stay fit and work all areas of the body.
For your reaction time and mental sharpness, don’t get too much into a routine. Try breaking routine occasionally and don’t just go blank! Here are some good methods to keep you sharp:
- Take a different route to work occasionally
- Work crossword puzzles and brain teasers
- Take on new projects that you enjoy
- Enjoy a new experience like skydiving, camping, travel
- Read a book…AVOID TOO MUCH TV
To sharpen your senses, train them like you would a muscle. Read this article for some methods to keep your senses heightened. I think the key is to avoid overexposure to extremes. For example, bright lights hurts eyesight, harsh scents lessens smell, loud music hurts hearing, strong tastes dulls the taste buds and harsh friction forms callouses.
