This is Q&A with Dr. Puja! Do games
like Wordle prevent dementia?


The short answer here is no.


No games
like Wordle don't prevent dementia.


I want you to know


this: We've learned a lot about the brain
and dementia over the last decade.


So these are four evidence based ways in
which you can reduce the risk of dementia.


One you need to exercise about 20 minutes
a day.


Two, you need to sleep about 7 hours
a day.


You need to eat well, and you need to do
the things that your momma told you to do.

You need to learn new activities
such as dancing, playing tennis,


anything that improves your hand-eye
coordination.


It's things like this


that have been proven
to reduce the risks of getting dementia.


So go play Wordle
if you're enjoying it! That's cool!


But it's not going to prevent dementia.
