It’s been shown that frequent mental exercise may be linked with improved cognitive performance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Talk to your doctor if you experience any problems with your memory or cognition. Here are a few games and techniques you can try that may help:
This game challenges you to use logic and math to solve a gridded number puzzle.
Crossword puzzles are a great way to challenge your mind. They test your memory, spelling, and critical thinking skills.
In this simple exercise, all you need are common household items and a friend. Select 5 to 10 different objects. Have your friend place the items around the room one at a time, showing you where they place them. Leave the room and write down where each item was placed. You should be able to complete this exercise in less than 10 minutes.
Consider watching something engaging, like a game show, which can challenge you in different ways.
