Brain Exercises Can Accelerate Mental Decline

Grandma always said that if you played with it too much you would wear it out and it wouldn't work when you did need it.

I guess that advice covered more than we thought!

It covers everything.

Someone who has had a very physical life will agree. It is well known that sports professionals end up suffering from whatever part of their body they made use of.

Socker players have bad knees, boxers have retina issues and brain damage, baseball pitchers severely wear out and injure their arm and so on.

Someone please give good advise to all those sport maniacs that waste so much time on their thing, that they actually steal it from family, friends or even their own leisure or studies.

What works best a car that has not been used for a period of time or one that has been used and properly maintained over time? I suspect that moderation and proper maintenance is the key to longevity.

Wake up people. It's the mental stress of all these "brain exercises" that is counter-acting the good that is done. Find brain stimulation that is pleasurable, not stressful. Solving puzzles is stressful in most cases, due to the internal clock we all apply to "solve" as quickly as possible. A good brain exercise is to spend more time with nature -- even just in your backyard -- observing and wondering. But be careful, you're brain is likely to see projects that need to be done -- more stress... UGH!
