Many studies have shown the health benefits to activities like crocheting, how it can help calm nerves, lift your spirits and even lower your blood pressure. But crocheting can also help combat memory loss. According to a Mayo Clinic study it’s been found that engaging in cognitive activities like crocheting can decrease the risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
MCI is a transitional state between normal aging and the earliest features of Alzheimer’s disease. Yonas Geda, M.D., a Mayo Clinic neuropsychiatrist, said that by engaging in cognitive exercise you can help protect against future memory loss. Statistics in that same study found that by reading, crafting, crocheting or participating in similar activities a person is likely to reduce chances of developing MCI by 30 to 50 percent.
