Jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, chess and other problem-solving and memory games that stimulate your brain aren't just fun—they may produce lasting benefits. A 2014 study found brain exercises helped older adults maintain reasoning skills and speed of cognition 10 years after the research period came to an end.
Studies have shown that playing games, playing an instrument, reading books and other activities may help preserve brain function. Being social may make life more satisfying, help preserve mental function and slow mental decline. Memory training and other cognitive training may help improve your function.
Physical Activity
Last December, researchers at Boston University School of Medicine discovered more evidence that physical activity is beneficial for brain health and cognition. The study found that certain hormones, which are increased during exercise, may help improve memory.
Number puzzles, such as sudoku, can be a fun way to challenge the brain. They may also improve cognitive function in some people. A 2019 study of adults aged between 50 and 93 years found that those who practiced number puzzles more frequently tended to have better cognitive function.
