Games which improve our Cognitive skills

Video games are not just a pastime, they can be an effective tool to improve your mental skills. The human brain is a complex organ that runs on electricity and chemicals. The brain produces its own energy, which is called glucose. The glucose travels through the bloodstream to the brain, where it is used to create energy for neurons (nerve cells). It's called a "brain-to-muscle" system. The more glucose you have in your blood, the more energy you have in your muscles and the better your brain will function.

Good nutrition is important because it helps create the glucose needed by the brain. As we age, our bodies produce less insulin and are unable to regulate blood sugar levels properly (insulin resistance). This causes elevated blood sugar levels that can contribute to cognitive decline as we get older.

Video games to increase Cognitive skills

1) Minecraft

 Minecraft is a game that has been around for so long, it's easy to forget how revolutionary it was at the time of its release. It's an open-world game that allows players to explore the world by building their own creations out of the game's blocky blocks. Minecraft has grown in popularity over the years, and now comes with a wide variety of different mods that add new features and improve the gameplay experience. There are plenty of games out there that improve cognitive skills, but Minecraft is the one I recommend for most people who want to improve their brains.
