Secret of My granny's Sharp Memory

 

My dear granny goes to the temple,

 To light candles before God,

 She prays on bended knees for our well-being,

My dear granny cooks food for me every day,

People say Granny does her routine duty,

But friends more than routine duty,

 She is more exposed to the same activity,

Like a golfer practicing a swing thousands of times.

 That makes stronger connections,

 Between neurons in Granny’s brain,

In return, she gets a gift of God-good Memory.

The fact is each of the brain’s 100 billion nerve cells,

 It can have 10,000 connections to other nerve cells.

These creative projects my granny does,

 Makes- synapses, creates new circuits,

 Between nerve cells, which essentially remaps her brain.

The sheer number of possible connections due to creative activities,

Gives granny’s brain unfathomable flexibility,

 And builds up functional reserves,

 That provides a safety valve against future cell-neuron loss,

That makes Granny’s memory strong.

 

People also ask me how come your granny,

 Is so active and energetic with sound memory,

The secret is that my granny also does challenging,

 Along with her routine duties with amicable joy,

She does creative activities like reading fiction and painting,

 Learns new skills to make her brain active and strong.

My granny avoids doing creative, challenging activities,

Then some parts of her brain’s neurons,

 Which are not being used regularly,

 Will automatically get pruned,

Granny’s brain will be in a state of mental pruning,

That will make Granny’s memory weak.

 

Friends! To retain good memory, a gift of God, the best is should remain.

 Engaged in creative activities like my granny,

 Let one's brain do challenging activities,

So to have a strong connection between neurons of the brain,

As memory is a game of connections,

Please do treasure this God-given gift of good memory.
