Research regarding aging
and cognitive fitness |
Numerous articles published by the Mayo Clinic Foundation
for Education and Research, the New England Journal of
Medicine and other resources, cite the importance of regular
“brain work-outs” in helping individuals maintain a vital
and healthy lifestyle. Solving crossword puzzles, playing
card and board games, and participating in other mentally
challenging tasks, are specifically mentioned as activities
that can delay the onset of age-related cognitive problems.
Click on the titles below for articles that describe how
mentally stimulating leisure time activities can enhance
cognitive fitness. Some entries have been excerpted from
longer articles. In those cases, a link to the full article
is provided.
