Engaging in regular brain games and exercises, from light activities like puzzles to more demanding mental challenges, has been shown to enhance mental acuity and overall brain health.
These activities stimulate cognitive functions such as memory, problem-solving, and processing speed, helping to delay cognitive decline and improve mental resilience.
A study titled “Cognitive Training Interventions for Healthy Older Adults: A Systematic Review of the Literature” published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience in September 2017, concluded that “cognitive training can improve cognitive abilities and real-life functioning,” underscoring the potential benefits of these exercises for maintaining cognitive health as we age.
