Do this for 5 to 10 minutes a day to improve your brain at any age, new research shows

A three-year study with almost 4,000 participants shows there’s no upper limit on cognitive improvement.

Is there anything you can do to improve your own brain function in just a few minutes a day? New research suggests that the answer may be yes. Five to 10 minutes of daily brain training can significantly improve your brain health, no matter what age you are. And the longer you continue this daily habit, the more your brain improves, with no apparent ceiling on the benefits. Those are the results of a study by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas Center for Brain Health. Researchers followed about 4,000 participants to see if a small daily brain training session could make a difference to cognitive health, as peer-reviewed by the journal Scientific Reports. After three years, the results are clear: It can.
