Summary
Can the games and activities you played as a child strengthen your brain as an adult?
When you were a child, playing with toys like Legos and puzzles, or even solving word games probably filled you joy and curiosity. They gave you a goal to work towards and provided hours of entertainment as you puzzled over them until you could see the final result. But these activities weren’t just fun, they were good for your neural development, too.
Today, I want to explore the brain-boosting benefits of play and how activities you enjoyed as a child can support cognitive performance across your lifespan. These classic pastimes aren’t just fun, they can actually exercise your brain.
Keeping your brain active and engaged as you age is crucial in maintaining cognitive health and mental performance. Mentally stimulating activities that you enjoy can help boost your memory, improve your reasoning, and sharpen your problem-solving capabilities. Listen in as I go over how you can use toys, games, and puzzles to keep your brain healthy and strong at any stage of life.
