Challenging Your Brain and Keeping Mentally Active

BRAIN GAMES:
LOWER YOUR BRAIN AGE IN MINUTES A DAY
Consultant: Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D.
    Learning new things came quickly to us as children; however, as we grow older we find ourselves often searching for new words, becoming more forgetful. What can we do to reverse this process?
 
     According to ScienceDaily (October 15, 2008): “As the brain ages a number of structural and functional changes occur, including atrophy, reductions in cell activity, and increases in deposits of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which can impact cognitive function ... pursuing activities that keep the mind engaged may help preserve brain health and cognitive ability. Traditionally, these include games such as crossword puzzles, but with the advent of technology, scientists are beginning to assess the influence of computer use – including the Internet.”
 
     Keeping in mind the need to “exercise” our brains as we grow older, the editorial staff of TOS50.com is recommending  “Brain Games: Lower Your Brain Age in Minutes a Day,” or other similar books such as: “The New Executive Brain: Frontal Lobes in a Complex World;” “Wisdom Paradox: How Your Mind Can Grow Stronger As Your Brain Grows Older;” “The Executive Brain: Frontal Lobes and the Civilized Mind.”
 
     The books are available on Amazon.com. Rise to the challenge: Enjoy the game while exercising your brain.
