How to keep your brain young.

Hi grandma, 

I heard that you want some advices for keeping your brain young, For keeping a young brain it is necessary to train it is good to always dedicate time to do things to stimulate our brain, Here are some advices for you.

Keep your mind awake, I mean, try to memorize phone numbers, It’s a good exercise to force the brain to work memory. You can also try to memorize other items like the shopping list or the street names of the place where you live.

You must read books, it has great benefits for the brain, It’s good because you use your imagination, and when you acquire the habit you will notice that each time you read faster. It is a very pleasant activity.

Take care of your diet. Finally, if we want a young and vital brain, we must pay attention to how we feed ourselves. The brain uses as the main energy to function glucose. It is essential to consume enough carbohydrates, vitamins, and proteins.

I hope you like my advices and I hope see you soon.

Love,

Fran.

My personal tradition

My personal tradition is going to festivals of electronic dance music.

  • My first festival was on 2015 and it was “Ultra Chile”

  • Then, in 2016 I went to “Andes Arena”.

  • On 2017, I went to “Andes Future” and that was my first legal festival with 18 years old. I saw my favorite DJ, Hardwell.

  • Then, in the same year, I went to “Creamfields”, that was one of the best festivals, but when I was dancing, a guy pushed me and I fell. I twisted my ankle, but I continued dancing all night.

  • In 2018, I went to Creamfields again, and I saw Armin Van Bureen, and that was a festival full of emotions.

  • In 2019, I went to “Dreambeach”, and I met Martin Garrix, that was one of the best days of my life.

  • I also go to techno parties, I really love dancing an that is my passion.

Episode 29: A secret admirer
Helen: It’s Valentine’s Day. There’s a card for you Alice. Who is it from?
Alice: Give me a minute. Let me read it first…It says:
“Oh Nurse Alice. You’re the queen of my palace.
I don’t know if you care for me. But I must tell my feelings free.
Who knows what’s in store. Do you find me an awful bore?
Are we really poles apart? Or could you nurse me and my heart?
Your CPR breathes life anew. May mine fill you with passion true?”
Oh, isn’t that romantic?
Helen: Yes, but who’s it from?
Alice: It’s a valentine, there’s no signature.
Helen: But who do you think it’s from? There are quite a few clues in the card.
