Will following a healthy brain IMAGE prevent Alzheimer’s disease?
There are no guarantees, but healthy lifestyle choices will help keep your brain as healthy as possible as you age. Since a healthier brain can withstand illness better, it’s important to take action on the things you can control through lifestyle choices.
By making healthy lifestyle choices, you may be able to reduce the risk factors and improve your brain’s ability to sustain long-term health.
What about video games, do they improve my brain health?
We typically say that good brain exercises require novelty, variety and challenge. So if video games are new to you and provide you with a variety of challenges, then they may be beneficial to you in the short term. Once you have mastered them (they are no longer a novelty or a challenge) then no, they will no longer be beneficial. But you don’t need expensive gadgets to improve your brain health, paper and pencil activities can be just as challenging!
