    Jun 27 2025

    Cognitive health is essential for seniors who want to remain safe and independent, and just like physical exercise, our brains need regular workouts to stay sharp.

    • The difference between normal age-related cognitive changes and concerning signs that warrant medical attention
    • Why reasoning and judgment are often the first cognitive abilities to decline with age
    • Traditional brain games like crossword puzzles may not provide enough challenge if you've been doing them for years
    • The importance of novelty – learning completely new skills creates better cognitive stimulation
    • Memory exercises like the tray game can improve recall and provide measurable progress
    • Daily activities like cooking new recipes, gardening, or learning an instrument offer practical cognitive exercise
    • Social interaction is a powerful brain booster – loneliness is as damaging as smoking 15 cigarettes daily
    • For those with dementia, focus on success-based activities that emphasize remaining abilities
    • Establishing consistent daily routines provides cognitive scaffolding for better brain health
