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.

It is now known that training the brain regularly is a sure shot way of keeping it healthy all the way to a ripe old age. Training your brain helps the neural connections work properly, and also reconnects broken neural junctions. That’s right. As you grow older, many of your unused neural connections may dry up. There are ways to breathe new life back into these connections, or synapses, as they are called. Exercising your brain is one of the best ways of doing so.

Playing puzzle games is a great way of exercising the idle connections in your brain tissue. As you solve challenging puzzles, your brain demands more and more processing power from the idle connections, thereby forcing those to reconnect and absorb nutrition. As the synapses absorb nutrition, those grow stronger, and remain healthy.

Brainarena.com has excellent puzzle games that help to train your brain in a fun way. The games are easy to understand, and quite engaging. Try out titles like Triangle numbers, Smiley twins, Grid numbers, and Rock, paper, and scissors.  Just play these for about half an hour every day, if possible. You will not be disappointed.
