Lego can improve brain functions in older people
It is no secret that kids love to play with Lego. However, it was not known before that Lego can help the brains of older people work better. Recently, research has shown that playing for an hour or two with Lego can indeed help older people fight off the degeneration of the brain brought about by old age, and the corresponding natural aging process.
As people play with Lego, they have to work their gray and white matter more than usual. This in turn makes their brains work better by tuning up the synapses, i.e. neural endings. So, next time your father joins your kids in a game of Lego, encourage him to stick to it for a while. He may be unknowingly putting up his best fight against age related ailments like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
