Engaging In Word Games Regularly Can Help One's Memory To Stay Sharp Playing that daily game of Wordle or doing the daily crossword isn't just a fun way to kick off your day it can also have long lasting positive effects on your brain health, according to experts. Experts believe that regular word games can assist seniors to stimulate their brains, and could even help prevent cognitive decline and other issues caused by aging. A renowned expert has told DailyMail.com that children who play these games every day are working hard now that will help their brains later on. Experts have no idea of the mechanism, but they have long observed the trend of working out the mind by providing it with simple, simple problems to solve and keeping it healthy and active. Dr Ronald Petersen (left), director of Alzheimer's research at the Mayo Clinic, told DailyMail.com that playing the daily word games is a positive lifestyle option, much like that of a healthy diet and regular exercise. Dr Jessica Caldwell (right), a neuropsychologist for Cleveland Clinic, said the games are a simple, 'autopilot', way to train the brain "My view on these types of word games is that if you like playing them and they're offering you a challenge, so you shouldn't be doing it on autopilot, you really need to think about it, then it's really serving you a good purpose in terms of supporting your brain health throughout your life,' said Dr Jessica Caldwell, a neuropsychologist for Cleveland Clinic. DailyMail.com was told by Dr Ronald Petersen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota that he recommends it to patients with problems with memory or thinking. The main benefit of the games is that they're enjoyable. Some people may participate in them in a passive manner and not be aware that they are improving their brains over the long run. A lot of people enjoy taking pleasure from playing word games. The recent emergence of Wordle which was created by an independent company that designed the game before being purchased by the New York Times for seven-figures it shows that there is a demand for these games among the general population. WHO chief warns the world that it is becoming blind to... In less than two weeks the human trials could show the male contraceptive pill in use. Add to that the real challenge these games offer and the potential learning of new words, phrases and ideas can keep the brain active. 'In order to keep your memory and thinking sharp, the key is really to be challenged and learning to keep your mind sharp,' Caldwell said. "Those are the only ways to exercise your brain. You're creating new neural pathways and aiding the ones that are already in place. It's not enough to just be busy. Mega Blog Petersen explained that these kinds of games can have a negative impact on the health of a person in the short- and long-term. It is similar to regular cardio exercise and an active lifestyle that can improve long-term health. The rise of Wordle in recent months shows that there is a desire for fast, simple, world games in the general population. He also described aging as something that a person can transform into an 'active' process that requires more initiative in the way that a person's body ages - and less of a passive' process - where one simply allows their body to slowly break down as they age. Don't sit around and let things deteriorate physically and mentally as well,' Petersen said. Petersen believes that this is due to 'plasticity' in the brain. Brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to grow and expand over time. Petersen believes that regular exercise could activate neurons and boost their flexibility which could help stop cognitive decline. Petersen declared that this principle could also be applied to video games, however simple word games are typically free of many of the negative aspects. A video game, such as the popular games like Minecraft and Call of Duty, can help stimulate neurons and even help a person develop their audio and visual response to stimulus. These games can be addictive and cause other problems including damage to eyes or disrupting sleep cycles.
