Life long learning is extremely important to your brain fitness. Have you ever heard the expression “use it or lose it”?

Thinking about different things and learning about new subjects actually cause neural pathways to form, so by doing various brain exercises you can change the brain, and that’s a good thing. This has been studied for many years now and is beyond doubt. The more you do some action the more those neural pathways are reinforced, similar to having muscle memory. Even something as simple as using a fork (or your mouse) with your non-dominant hand will build new pathways in your brain.

Even by doing something as simple as playing games you can enjoy the consequences of faster reaction times, better recall and improved problem solving skills. Do any of those things appeal to you? (Some days I would just be happy if I could remember where I put my car keys…) Human brain games make learning and thinking more fun.

While doing a bit of research on this phenomenon I stumbled across a website, Lumosity, that has brain strengthening exercises in the form of games. It is free to use a variety of basic games there and they do challenge your eye hand coordination a bit, as well as your thinking powers. They may not be as much of a challenge for younger people used to video games, but either the thinking part of the eye hand coordination part will challenge you.

Whatever age you are learning is a positive thing. Whether it is something as ordinary as a crossword puzzle or extraordinary as learning a new language you should challenge yourself every day to keep your mind sharp.
