Finding methods to consistently challenge your brain reduces your risk of developing dementia.


By 2050, there will be more than 150 million dementia cases worldwide, tripled the amount from now. There is an increased emphasis on preventive behaviors because there is no remedy in sight.

It supports the widely held belief that the more mental challenges you regularly engage in, the less likely it is that you will struggle with memory and thinking issues as you age, says Katherine Gray, research communications manager at the UK Alzheimer's Society, which contributed funding to the long-term study. Participants who kept their brains busy throughout their lives, whether through education, employment, or engaging in challenging hobbies, had stronger thinking skills by age 69.

Even though there are several risk factors for acquiring dementia, it is encouraging to know that engaging in cognitively stimulating activities and finding ways to routinely challenge your brain might help prevent future memory and thinking issues.
