Hi, Reader,

This month's OutSmart Aging™ Online is shaping up to be a good mental workout. We'll be getting into Neurobics, which is the science behind brain exercise to increase brain power and decrease memory loss.

These cognitive workouts stimulate our brains with learning new things, breaking from the usual routine and involving one or more senses.

When the brain takes in new information, it gets practice making new connections to interpret and retain that information. The disruption of routine means we can't go on "automatic pilot" but really have to pay attention to adapt. And finally, when your brain uses more than one sense at a time, it creates new neural pathways and connections important for forming and retrieving memories.

Ready to try something "neu" right now? Use your creative thinking, read each of the following words exactly as they are positioned and you'll understand the expressions they represent:

"LIFEONCETIME" "CROLOSTWD" "ADVCASHANCE"

"THEBACKDAY" "LIMOUNTON" "COTAXME" "MOMANON"

And if you don't get the concept at first, I hope you will continue to work your brain laterally - think outside the box, and don't be tempted to "TOWTHROWEL." Before you do that, just scroll way down for the answers.

Til next, Be Memorable,

P.S. The next experience happens on Thursday, August 13th, at 4 pm Eastern. That's tomorrow! I hope to see you there!

P.P.S. And the answers are obvious when you understand that you're reading the "word in word" in each example.

"Once in a Lifetime" "Lost in the Crowd" "Cash in Advance" "Back in the Day" "Mountain Lion" "Income Tax" "Man in the Moon"
