Is the 10 minutes of brain games are going to change all these problems you have in your brain?

Probably not.

Too much damage.

You need to work your brain on multiple fronts.

Any one of the five pillars of brain health contribute to brain functions, optimal brain functions, and brain training is one of them.

So does brain training improve your brain functions?

Absolutely.

Does brain training improve the size of the parts of the brain you use?

Absolutely.

Does the brain training by itself, in the absence of everything else, prevent Alzheimer's disease?

Maybe a little bit.

It's one part of the puzzle.

Yes.

So you can't, I do things every day to challenge my brain, whether it's taking dancing lessons or, you know, work on my French to improve my French or do different things every day.

So your Sudokus and every day I find little opportunities to challenge my brain.

What I'd like to emphasize for your listeners is this.

You need to make some things a routine part of your life.

Like tend to walk more every day, pay attention to your sleep,

Find out the common things and fix your sleep.

Don't eat junk food.
