COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- It takes more than just eating right and exercise to live a long, healthy life.
Having an active mind is also an important part of the equation.
Al Clowser with the YMCA was on FOX21 Morning News on Monday with some ideas on how to keep your brain fit.
Clowser says learning should be a lifetime experience. He suggests keeping your mind occupied as much as possible.
Here are some fun ways to exercise your brain:
* Brush your teeth with the other hand
* Change your daily routine
* Play games like bridge, chess, crosswords and video games
