No, I don't mean take it for a walk.
The recent thread on LTC prompted this post. There have been some articles on how to stay mentally fit to possibly avoid decline of cognitive abilities and perhaps even prevent dementia.
I am curious if anyone else here tries to keep mentally fit? Do you believe it is effective?
My mental workout is crossword puzzles (NY Times Sunday and the LA Times Sunday puzzles) and Sudoku. I have noticed that it is taking me longer to do the puzzles which worries me a bit. I used to be a physicist and I like to work out the physics of things I read in the news, even doing the math.
Not sure if it will work but I figure it can't hurt.
