An online video from The Early Show describes how activities like knitting, crochet and sewing are good for your brain, especially in your later years. According to Neuroscientist Dr. Yonas Geda from the Mayo Clinic, these activities seem to be neuro-protective and have been shown to reduce memory loss in later years by as much as 50%. The video goes on to say that these activities also help to:
- Lower stress
- Reduce pain
- Reduce symptoms of depression
- Boost your immune system
- Lower your blood pressure

Ahh so that’s why the old nannys always nit and sew and live so long! haha! Yeh I always knew there was something to it!
thank you:)
Think I need to take up knitting if its as beneficial as they say!
I heard this too. Knitting is really relaxing for the brain. But knitting can be quite addictive as well. I know some girls who just really love to knit that they wake up in the middle of the night just to knit. Crazy isn’t it?
Has it been proven? If that’s the case I would start sewing at this age. I’m in my early 30’s and I am starting to suffer from memory lapses. I will let you know if this works.
