2. Hit the dance floor
Getting your groove on not only feels good – we all know a good boogie releases those addictive feel-good endorphins – but doing something completely new, like learning to salsa, tango or ballroom, helps to build new neural pathways in your brain, keeping both your body and brain healthier.

3. Head to the hills
The great outdoors are brilliant for so many reasons, not only does regular walking help boost your cardiovascular (heart) health, research also suggests that taking walks in nature has a wealth of mental health benefits too. If you don’t have time to head off on a big walk, just get off the bus a stop early, take the stairs not the lift, or walk to the shops rather than drive – every little helps.

4. Step up
Low-impact exercise like swimming and cycling are great ways to boost your cardio (heart) health and your memory. Research has shown that when we exercise our muscles produce a protein called cathepsin B, which boosts brain cell growth. Try to find a form of cardio that suits you and aim for 30 minutes’ five times a week.
