Physical health is important, but the mind needs exercise too. Researchers have found that mental stimulation benefits the brain in the same way physical stimulation benefits the body. Simple mental workouts such as puzzles, cards, and board games have been shown to help maintain cognitive function in older people. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that older people who challenge their brains regularly with puzzles are less likely to develop dementia. Physical activity also helps maintain normal brain function. There are many options for inexpensive or free puzzles and games. Local libraries are good sources, and many “brain games” are available online.
