A member asked:

Can volunteer work help keep a senior mind sharp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: Volunteer work at any age is great. Other things that can keep a senior mind sharp: exercise, eating healthy and mental stimulation - things like crossword puzzles, learning a new language, puzzles and brainteasers.
