Regular brain training could help to improve your memory and keep your mind alert and active. Exercises such as Suduko sums, reading, maths based card games like Party poker and cribbage, or lateral thinking puzzles, may help to stimulate the brain. Just how physical activity keeps the body fit and healthy, cognitive exercise could keep you mentally engaged with life and improve brain stimulation. 
 

Now you can justify playing fun games like Sudoku or crosswords, because according to the Medical Journal of America, those who are more mentally engaged and stimulated are less likely to have Altzheimer's. In theory, by practising one activity a week you are decreasing you chances of the disease by 7 percent.
