Brain Train Age
For the past 20 years, I have made a point of doing crosswords and other puzzles, whenever I find myself sitting down with nothing else in particular to do. At first, I found it difficult and challenging as my neurotransmitters and braincells seemed reluctant to fire up. But I was amazed as suddenly - and it did seem to happen all of a sudden - I found myself completing most puzzles in minutes and looking for harder puzzles to do. It was a really interesting and satisfying experience and now I regularly participate in mind games and puzzles on my home P.C.
Brain Age is inspired by the research of Professor Ryuta Kawashima who is a prominent Japanese neuroscientist. He evaluated the impact of performing certain reading and mathematic exercises to help stimulate the brain.It is generally accepted in scientific circles, that doing mental puzzles - things like crossword puzzles etc, stimulates the brain and is thought to help avoid deterioration of mental abilities as we age. It is even agreed, that is can help ward off the onslaught of brain diseases like Alzheimer's.
