The Brain health in COVID19 pandemic
last updated on

The past months have been tough. All across the world, people have been asked to stay home and socially isolate themselves to protect themselves and their communities against the spread of the COVID19 pandemic. Staying at home and following the social isolation guidelines have an enormous effect on our lives, including both our physical health and brain health. Many people at home are adopting physical exercise programs—whether it’s going for a regular walk, getting back on that exercycle in the basement, or even working with a trainer over a video call.


But what about our brain health? If staying at home can contribute to a decline in our physical health—which we can address with an exercise program—what does staying at home and socially isolating do to our cognitive health? So while we are staying at home and avoiding social contact, we’re depriving our brains of the cognitive stimulation and new learning that naturally come through our everyday lives and interactions with friends, co-workers, and even random strangers. And in the same way we might have a physical exercise program to help our physical fitness during quarantine, we should have a cognitive exercise program to help our cognitive fitness during quarantine. 

Here are the ideas to get your quarantine cognitive exercise program started:

New learning:

The best way to keep your brain healthy is to engage is to learn something new—and the best kind of learning for brain health involves hearing, seeing, and doing.  It’s a good time to develop a skill that you’ve always had an itch for—it’s good for your brain health, and good for you.

Cognitive engagement

You can take ordinary activities, and build on them to make them more cognitively engaging. If you’re out for a walk (and I hope you are, on a regular basis), then on each walk, make a point to notice something new in your neighborhood to exercise your attention and novelty detection. Take a slightly different route each walk to exercise your brain’s navigation skills.
