How to keep memory alive?

Question

When people get older, they start losing more brain cells. They also forget many things. I've heard that puzzle/word games can solve this problem. Is it true? If it is true, what are some other things to keep memory alive?

Answer 1

the old saying "if you don't use it, you lose it" is absolutely true. So anything that exercises the brain is a good thing to help maintain memory skills. From reading, to crossword puzzles to even computer games. Also good is building a scrapbook of treasured memories to go back to and look at often.

Answer 2

reading a paper--doing puzzles---using the opposite hand to do every day things, they say even walking will help memory.
