Reading a blog every day might help to deter the development of dementia.  Writing a post every day, better yet.

Research results that were published in JAMA Psychiatry indicate that “daily intellectual activities” could significantly help to maintain cognitive ability.  Such activities also include “board games or card games.”

Some experts have questioned whether “reverse causation” might be at play here.  In other words:  Is dementia the cause or result of a lack of intellectual activity?

Nevertheless, previous studies have supported the theory that “engaging in mentally challenging activities – even later in life” can indeed be cognitively beneficial.
