FUN PASTIMES. "THE GENIUS FACTORY" Vol.i Develop your brain in a fun way

EXERCISE YOUR BRAINThe brain is one more muscle in our body that should be stimulated to enjoy good health and be fit. Reading a book, acquiring a new skill, changing a routine, or playing anything that is challenging will help keep your brain in shape. Many studies claim that completing a puzzle or doing crossword puzzles regularly from a very young age are exercises that favor various cognitive processes. Some research talks about the benefits of carrying out this type of activity in future dementia processes or diseases such as Alzheimer's. In many day hospitals or foundations that work with the elderly, the puzzle is a stimulating tool in their usual exercises. A major study conducted at the University of California concluded that the lifestyle factors of individuals with increased cognitive activity could slow or prevent the deposition of ?-amyloid, a peptide that has been linked to Alzheimer's, thereby influencing the establishment and progression of this disease.
