Cognitive activities: Word puzzles and crossword challenges are good, avoiding too many passive activities like over watching tv. Interactive games on the computer, socialization and interaction and physical activity are equally important. Treat your blood pressure, glucose and lipids as well to avoid complications related to "metabolic syndrome".

Mental and physical: While i agree with the previous answer, it has also been shown that physical activity can help maintain cognitive function. "dozens of studies now show that aerobic exercise can increase the size of critical brain structures and improve cognition in children and older adults.
