The Benefits of Exercising your Mind


Adding a new activity will help lower your stress levels and will improve your mood. Crosswords, puzzles, and quizzes improve your vocabulary and help you communicate better when you socialize. Reading a new book or reading a new word per day will help build your vocabulary. Using a new word in conversation will help you feel confident when you communicate with someone. You will develop new language skills and improve your concentration.

Reading and working on crosswords exercises the left hemisphere of the brain that stores the grammar and vocabulary. It is also the section of the brain that controls language. Playing games online increases concentration, alertness, and makes you observe details. There are free apps that have crosswords, puzzles, and quizzes such as Fit Brains Trainer, Happify, and Clockwork Brain. Exercising your mind and body will keep your brain sharp.

Writing with your non-dominant hand also strengthens the neural connections of the brain. Although, there is no solution to keep brain memory as we age, practicing new activities and stimulating the brain will keep the brain connected. Writing lists by hand can help you remember. Nonetheless, it is a fun and relaxing method during work lunch breaks. Here are more resources about having more cognitive functions.
