Cleveland Clinic warns passive screen habits risk brain health

Experts at the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic say that prolonged passive activities such as watching television, scrolling social media or using smartphones for hours provide little stimulation to the brain, which can lower cognitive function and overall wellbeing. Neurologist Dylan Wint explained that the brain needs active tasks like exercise, social interaction, puzzles, language learning or playing an instrument to stay healthy. Both clinics recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week, regular sleep, social contact and mentally challenging hobbies to protect brain health.
