Experts believe that daily word games can assist seniors stimulate their brains, and could even prevent cognitive decline and other issues that can arise with age. A renowned expert has told DailyMail.com that younger people playing these games every day are putting in work now that will benefit their brain down the line. While the mechanism isn't able to be identified by experts, they have established the practice of working the brain by giving it simple, achievable 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 are a healthy lifestyle choice similar to regular exercise and a healthy diet. Dr Jessica Caldwell (right), a neuropsychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, stated that the games can be an effective way to train the brain. "My view on these types of word games is if you enjoy them and they're providing you with an opportunity to test yourself, and you can't play them on auto pilot, you must think about it, and then it's actually serving a good purpose in terms of promoting your brain health throughout life,' said Dr Jessica Caldwell, a neuropsychologist for Cleveland Clinic. DailyMail.com was informed by Dr. Ronald Petersen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota that he recommends it to patients suffering from memory or thinking problems. The primary benefit of games are that they are enjoyable. It is possible for people to participate in them passively and not realize it is improving their brains over the long run. Many people take real enjoyment from playing word games, and the recent explosion of Wordle that was created by an independent company that designed the game before being purchased by the New York Times for seven-figures it shows that there is a desire for these games among the average population.

Combining this with the challenges of these games, and the possibility of learning new words, phrases, and ideas can keep your mind engaged. In order to keep your memory and your thinking sharp, the key is really challenging yourself and learning,' Caldwell said. "Those are the only means to truly exercise your brain, you're creating new neural pathways, while also aiding the neural pathways that were previously in place, so the key is you can't simply be busy.' Petersen explained that playing these types of games on a regular basis is a lifestyle factor that can affect the health of a person in the immediate and long-term future, similar to the way regular cardio exercise and a healthy diet can improve health over the long term. The rise of Wordle in the last few months has shown that there is an apatite for quick, easy, world games in the general population He also stated that ageing can be enhanced by people.

Don't sit around and let things degrade mentally and physically,' Petersen said. The reason for this case cannot be determined, though Petersen believes it has something to do with do with 'plasticity' of the brain. The brain's plasticity is the capacity for the brain, as well as the neural networks that make it up to expand and grow over time. Petersen believes that regular exercise can activate neurons and improve their plasticity which may help prevent cognitive decline. Petersen said that this concept could also be applied to video games, but simple word games are typically free of many of the negative aspects. A video game, like popular titles like Minecraft and Call of Duty, can stimulate neurons, and help learn to improve their audio and visual response to stimuli. These games can be highly addictive, though, and also cause other issues - for instance, how screen time can affect a person's eyes and affect their sleep.
