If you are like most people in the world, you have a dominate hand --one hand that handles most tasks. call it your go-to hand. If we had to guess, would say you are right-handed ( about 90 percent of people are) only a tiny percentage --about 1 percent --of people use both hands equally ( this is referred to as being ambidextrous). This is because you brain is lazy. For one-handed tasks, such as writing a note, it defaults to same-old, same -old. One way to ward off cognitive decline is to get out of this rut. You need to stimulate your brain --make it do something in a new way. Since the left side of your brain controls the motor function on the right side of your body ( and vice versa), by switching which hand you do a task with, you'll light up a different part of you brain. For example, brush your teeth with your nondominant hand. Put your fork in your nondominant and eat your dinner that way ( Bonus points for not spilling all ever your shirt). The fact that these tasks likely feel awkward is a sign that you`r engaging your brain a new way.
