Books That Exercise The Brain Help Keep Your Mind Nimble And Active
I don’t know about you, but, once I hit 50, my brain and memory started on a slippery slope downhill – I found that everyday words sometimes escaped me, and my memory just wasn’t what it used to be.
So I went in search of some books to stimulate my brain. And, I found them!
A perfect gift for someone who might be suffering memory loss (think dementia, Alzheimers, or Lewy Body), the books shown below exercise the brain with fun activities.
These brain exercise books also are a great way to prompt memories – in fact, I had one of these memory books for my own Mom; I was surprised at how many of Mom’s older memories bubbled to the surface.
Mom and I had some wonderful conversations spurred by the questions asked on the pages – and some secrets were told. Secrets I’ll hold dear.
Mental stimulation is as important to the brain as physical exercise is to muscles. ‘Use it or lose it’ comes to mind (pun fully intended). Focus and mental alertness improve the more one works with the exercise in these books.
Brain Exercise Books
If you are a senior citizen like me or have an elderly friend in your life, a few of these brain exercise books are a wonderful present. These are also wonderful gifts for nursing or retirement home libraries.
