Although the mechanism cannot be identified by experts, they have established the practice of exercising the brain by giving it simple, easy-to-solve challenges and keeping it active and healthy. DailyMail.com's Dr Ronald Petersen (left), who is the Mayo Clinic's director of Alzheimer's research, stated that daily word games can be a positive way to live a healthy lifestyle, similar to regular exercise and a healthy diet. Dr Jessica Caldwell (right), neuropsychologist at Cleveland Clinic, said the games are a simple autopilot method to improve brain function. "Those kinds of word games are fun when they challenge you, therefore you shouldn't play them on autopilot, and I think they serve a good purpose in terms improving your brain health for the rest of your life," said Dr Jessica Caldwell an expert in neuropsychology at Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Books And Stuff , director of Alzheimer's research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota, told DailyMail.com that he recommends it for patients who have concerns about their memory or thinking as they age. The primary benefit of games is that they are generally enjoyable and one can engage in them and not even realize that doing it is benefiting their brain in the long-term.

Combining this with the challenges of these games, as well as the possibility of learning new words, phrases, and ideas, can keep your brain active. Caldwell said, "To keep your memory sharp and your mind sharp the most important thing is to keep challenging yourself and learning." 'Those are the only ways that you're really actually exercising your brain, you're growing new neural pathways, you're helping to maintain the old neural pathways which is why you shouldn't just be doing nothing.' Petersen explained that these kinds of games can have a negative effect on the health of a person in the short and long-term.

Petersen said that this concept can also be applied to video games, but simple word games are usually free of many of the negative aspects. A video game, such as the renowned titles like Minecraft and Call of Duty, can help activate neurons, and help train their visual and audio response to stimuli. These games are addictive and could cause other problems, such as damage to the eyes and disrupting sleep cycles.
