Puzzles and lifestyle advice may help older adults with memory and thinking problems

AOL reports that 32.8% of participants directed to a brain-health website were no longer deemed to have age-related cognitive decline after a year, compared with 28.4% given lifestyle advice alone. The website combined puzzles with diet and exercise guidance. Alzheimer’s Research UK cautioned that it is premature to say lifestyle changes reverse cognitive impairment; the Alzheimer’s Society said it remains unclear whether the benefits last or apply to people with diagnosed dementia.
