So here are 3 tips from Wink Bingo for giving your mental muscles a damn good workout. Importantly, none of these are to do with snazzy apps or gizmos – they’re simple actionable things you can do every day. Take a look at the rest of their infographic on brain training for more handy hints.
Go for a run in your local park
Running is a great way to keep your synapses in shape. The Wink Bingo research shows even a half hour’s run can improve reaction times and your ability to learn. If you’re new to running, opt for a brisk walk instead and build it up slowly.
Play a game online
Okay, so it won’t necessarily keep you fit, but playing a game from your mobile can improve your cognition – video games, for example, can improve reaction times by up to 25% and a game of bingo can improve brain function by more than 2.5%.
Smiling
How often do you smile? Maybe you should smile a bit more. That’s because a single smile – just one – can be as pleasurable (but not nearly as unhealthy) as eating 2,000 chocolate bars! Featured photo credit: Farrokh Bulsara via pixabay.com
