All in the mind: Fun ways to boost brain power at any age

Posted

Just like our muscles, our minds need regular workouts to stay strong and sharp—especially as we  age. The good news? Giving your brain a boost can be as enjoyable as it is beneficial! 

Engaging in stimulating activities like trivia nights, word puzzles, board games, and jigsaw  puzzles help enhance memory, improve focus, and keep your cognitive skills active. Whether you’re  teaming up with friends for a puzzle or diving into a solo crossword, these fun pastimes offer more  than just entertainment—they help maintain brain health. 

Don’t forget the power of exercise! A daily walk, chair yoga, or even light stretching gets the blood flowing—not just to your muscles, but to your brain, too. And if you prefer something quieter,  reading or listening to audiobooks can transport your imagination while improving your memory and  comprehension. 

At Pickering Manor, we believe in nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. That’s why we offer a variety  of seminars, events, and group activities—both open to the community and hosted in-house for our  residents, families and staff—designed to support lifelong learning, spark creativity, and promote  social connection.
