Can Playing Games Prevent Alzheimer's?

Playing games can produce benign stimulation to the brain, which can help the elderly prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is mainly a disease in which the nerve cells of the brain are damaged, leading to the decline of brain function. Through a long-term follow-up study, it was found that the probability of Alzheimer's disease in the elderly who often played with toys was more than 50% lower than that of other elderly people who did not often play with toys. This is because the hand movement is strengthened when playing with toys, which can activate 40% of the brain cells, which is a benign stimulus for the brain, so it can delay the attenuation of the brain and prevent Alzheimer's.

At the same time, scientists also found that playing video games in moderation can also help the elderly prevent Alzheimer's disease. Older people who regularly play video games have significantly slower brain decay processes. This is mainly because in the process of playing games, players are required to think quickly, which can promote blood circulation in the brain and increase the oxygen supply to the brain, thereby enhancing brain vitality and preventing the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.

Dementia can indeed be prevented by playing games, whether it is playing toys or popular video games. To prevent Alzheimer's disease, in addition to playing with toys and games, it is more important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as regular exercise, adequate nutritional intake, and regular social activities.
