The brain is like a little motor; every once in a while it needs it's
maintenance or check-up. That maintenance basically means to work-out the brain
with activities that required a lot of thinking such as reading and solving puzzle
games which promote a healthy and functioning brain. The reason why brains need
their maintenance or work-out is because you don't want to prevent atrophying or
dementia. Dementia is a disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease
or injury and marked by memory disorders. As people hit their 50s the risks of
getting dementia increase. The good news is that some types of dementia is
treatable and reversible. This is why good activities that exercise the brain keep it healthy.
Physical activity has also shown to help with more oxygen, blood flow, energy
and helps the brain create new brain cells.
