The more we use our brain, the better it functions. We are told to use our brain time and again which has all good reasons behind the saying. One of the most beneficial exercise for brain health is solving brain teaser. These keep the mind active and challenge it to boost cognitive function. When you solve brain teasers on a regular basis, it can even slow down the brain aging process.
Why To Check Mental Alertness?
According to Dr Chandni Tugnait, MD (A.M) Psychotherapist, Life Alchemist, Coach & Healer , Founder & Director, Gateway of Healing, “Regular mental alertness checks are crucial for both safety and health reasons. They help detect early signs of cognitive decline, monitor medication effects, and ensure safe performance in high-risk activities like driving or operating machinery. These checks can reveal underlying mental health issues such as sleep disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or neurological conditions before they become severe. They’re particularly important for older adults, shift workers, and people with chronic health conditions. Mental alertness testing also plays a vital role in workplace safety protocols and medical assessments.”
Regular mental alertness checks can:
- Identify early warning signs of cognitive issues
- Inform personalized brain training programs
- Optimize daily functioning
- Enhance quality of life
Use standardized tests, brain games, or cognitive assessments to evaluate mental alertness and take proactive steps toward better brain health
