A study by the University of Edinburgh says that people who play non-digital games are mentally healthier than others in old age.
 	Non-digital are games that are not played on the phone, laptop, computer or TV. Board games like scrabble, monopoly, chess, card games, etc are examples of non-digital games.
 	The researchers tested 1000 people above the age of 70 years. They tested them on problem-solving skills, memory, general thinking ability and thinking speed.
 	The participants repeated the same test once every three years until they reached the age of 79.
 	According to the findings,  people who played non-digital games scored better in memory and thinking tests.
 	Old people (70 years and more) who increased playing these games were more likely to maintain their thinking skills as they grew older.

Playing board games can help you stay mentally fit and strong. So play along!
