It is pivotal to retain your cognitive health via regular mental challenges, because cognitive capacity is associated with your ability to perform both basic and complex activities of daily living. Cognitive decline disrupts basic abilities such as dressing, bathing and using the phone. Brain health is a vital part of your overall health. It underlies your ability to communicate, decide things, solve problems and live a useful and productive life. Because your brain controls so much of daily function, it is arguably the single most valuable organ in your body. "You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human." - Lori Deschene
