The ability to grasp new things gradually decreases with increasing age. Older people may even forget the known persons names and may also get confused in doing normal things well. It may eventually lead to Alzheimer’s disease in the old. According to researchers of the Rush University Medical Center of Chicago, the attack of this disease can be avoided by keeping the mind busy with several works. When compared with normal people, those who keep their brains always busy are resistant to the attack of Alzheimer’s with the risk being reduced by 2.6%. The mind can be kept active by doing scrabbles, puzzles, Sudoku, crosswords etc., and also by playing logic games like chess. For old people, if we train them to use computers, then their mind works more actively. The activity of brain can also increased by doing an entirely new work.
