10 Simple Habits That Could Help You Live To 100

Dial One Phone Number from Memory Every Day

Whether you own a smart phone or a regular "old fashioned" cell phone, these everyday devices have made the habit of memorizing phone numbers a thing of the past. While the convenience of programmed phone numbers can be quite handy, it's not doing much of a favor to your brain. A simple way to keep your mind alert and active is to dial at least one memorized phone number a day. This will help you practice your brain's chunking ability, the ability to group information together into "chunks," helping to keep your memory function strong.
