🀄 Mahjong & Alzheimer’s Prevention: More Than Just a Game

Did you know playing Mahjong may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease?

This centuries-old game offers powerful brain benefits that support long-term cognitive health, especially in older adults. While there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s yet, engaging in mentally stimulating, social activities like Mahjong has been linked to slower cognitive decline and improved memory.

⸻

🧠 Why Mahjong Is Good for the Brain:

✅ Cognitive Stimulation – Playing keeps memory, focus, and decision-making sharp
✅ Social Connection – Reduces isolation, a known risk factor for dementia
✅ Stress Relief – Promotes joy, mindfulness, and mental wellness
✅ Fine Motor Skills – Tile handling activates sensory and motor circuits

🧪 Studies show regular Mahjong play is associated with higher cognitive function and may delay symptoms of dementia.
