New Year, New Challenge When it comes to a better brain boost, it s best to get out of your comfort zone, say doctors. That may mean learning to speak a new language or play a musical instrument, or taking on another activity that s new to you. Doing something challenging that requires being mentally and socially engaged and uses a high level of cognitive processes helps maintain the connections between brain cells. Researchers say pursuits that require continuous challenges showed the biggest benefits.
