Why Crosswords Are Beneficial
Learn why crossword puzzles are healthy!
- For a Healthy Brain in Old Age, Start Early, by Joseph Shapiro
- It's called "use it or lose it" - the belief that exercising your brain will keep your memory and thinking skills sharp as you age, and maybe even ward off dementia and Alzheimer's. That's the hope, at least, but the scientific proof is pretty modest.
- The Benefits of Brain Games: Stay young and sharp with fun and challenging games scientifically developed to give your brain a workout,
- Mental stimulation is considered one of the main pillars of brain health, along with exercise, good nutrition, stress management and social connection. These anti-aging brain games from Happy Neuron were scientifically developed to strengthen the five major cognitive brain functions -- attention, language, memory, visual-spatial, and executive function. Similar to how lifting weights builds muscle, stimulating the brain by challenging yourself to these types of anti-aging brain games helps build cognitive reserve which helps slow the natural effects of aging and defers the onset of diseases like Alzheimer's.
- Brain Workout Benefits: Study: Reading, Playing Board Games, Dancing May Prevent Dementia
- (CBS) New research suggests that a brain workout on a regular basis can greatly reduce the risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
