As you age, it’s very important to keep your mind sharp and your brain healthy. Science points to a combination of social factors and healthy habits that can help keep it healthy and preserve its functions over time. While experts used to think that brain development peaked in late adolescence and it was all downhill from there, now we know that the brain can grow new cells and form new neural connections. Here are some tips on how to help your own brain do this:

• Exercise regularly: Exercise is good for all your body, and this includes your brain. As little as 30 minutes per day, physical exercise increases blood flow to the brain, which increases cognitive function.
  
  
• Watch what you consume: It has been found that high blood sugar can increase your risk for dementia, even without diabetes. Also, if you smoke, quit, as tobacco harms all your organs, including your brain.
  
  
• Keep your mind stimulated: Just like our muscles and other body parts, the brain can rebuild itself through repeated use and exercise. Some exercises for the brain include puzzles and games, but also learning a new language, social activities that keep you independent and engaged with friends and family and trying out new hobbies maintain a healthy brain.
  
  
• Sleep Well: Bad sleepers are linked to slower thinking and risk of dementia, so make sure you get from seven to nine hours of sleep - preferably at night. Also, try not to take any medication to sleep, as they can make cognitive problems worse.

What other good habits do you practice or perhaps you can think of trying out for the first time to keep your brain going strong?

You’ve probably read about these or have seen them on TV: from Tokyo to all corners of the world, capsule hotels are an innovative idea that brings many benefits to its users and to the city. Capsule hotels are fancy hostels where, instead of sleeping in bunk beds, guests sleep in small, individual capsules in a hall with 20-40 others. In these hotels, bathrooms are shared but there are usually individual shower rooms to keep guests as comfortable as possible. They also usually separate men from women, a tradition that comes from its Japanese concept.

Originally designed for businessmen who worked late and needed a place to crash, capsule hotels are also a good idea because: they’re cheap: Since hotel prices in Tokyo can be extremely high, capsule hotels are a cheap alternative, charging around half their price - while still being located in the same areas as any fancy hotel. They also deal very well with large amounts of guests, as they can host hundreds of guests at a time in a much smaller area than most hotels.

Also if you lost your luggage while traveling, make sure to check in on one of these hotels, as they provide you with the regular clean towels, slippers, soap, as well as comfy pajamas, umbrellas, a toothbrush and toothpaste and other items to help you go through that first night in the city. Capsule hotels are also very quiet, as they have a “keep quiet” policy in all rooms, meaning there are no loud noises from outside or even from your neighbors in other pods or capsules.

So, if you’re planning a cool adventure (hopefully in the not so distant future), how about giving a capsule hotel a try? It’s never too late for trying out something new!

Smart city planners around the world are starting to look towards a new and intelligent digital infrastructure that will enhance their smart cities. A company called Signify, formerly Philips Lighting, has recognized the key role that lighting plays in the smart city market and have developed a management system which enables streetlights to be remotely controlled and monitored through a centralized online application.

With this innovative system, Signify aims to provide energy-efficient smart street lightning that will benefit the environment and the city’s economy. While switching to LED streetlights is already reducing energy consumption by up to 50% across a metropolitan area, this smart remote management can increase that percentage to 80%!

The technology can remotely control the output of individual streetlights, detect problems more efficiently and monitor energy performance. Additionally, the poles can double up as powerful IT service nodes, housing connectivity applications like 4G/5G and Wi-Fi, as well as setting the platform for security cameras to be installed on them.

All these features will help improve wireless connectivity and eliminate potential dead zones, accommodating an increasingly network dependent society and their needs for a connected world.

Signify designs its smart streetlights with a circular economy in mind – with their lights designed to be highly serviceable and built with components which can be reused, replaced and even upgraded easily and without much cost.

Think about what this could mean to individual/personal use in the days to come! Who knows, in the not so distant future, we could all be paying a significant reduced amount in our electricity bills. Phew, sounds like a smart plan”
