Studies have shown that engaging in mental activity through games and puzzles can help keep the mind sharp in old age. Just as regular physical exercise helps the body, regular mental exercise has benefits for the mind. Completing puzzles and crosswords, and Board Games have been shown to be beneficial to the maintenance of short-term memory, eye-hand co-ordination and general concentration.

In a five-year study involving more than 400 participants over 75 years of age, it was found that activities that involve thought, such as reading, writing and board games, were more likely to ward off dementia. Of the physical activities trialled, only dancing was of any use in keeping our minds fit.
