    Seniors are encouraged to do exercises that involve different parts of the brain to help keep them mentally fit. Mahjong would be one, also crossword puzzles or other word games.

    And some studies have shown that intellectually stimulating exercises can have a protective effect against Alzheimer’s disease.

    regular mental activity develops the brain and keeps it fit… can be anything actually… mahjong or crosswords doesn’t make difference
