Professor Kamilla Miskowiak and science journalist Charlotte Koldbye have written the book Hjernegymnastik (Brain gymnastics). In the book, they explore ways to keep your brain sharp throughout life and build what’s known as cognitive reserve.
Research shows that people with mental health conditions who have high cognitive reserve often experience fewer relapses, a reduced risk of psychiatric hospitalization, and an improved quality of life. This reserve can be strengthened by engaging in regular mental challenges and stimulating activities.

Professor Kamilla Miskowiak og videnskabsjournalist Charlotte Koldbye har skrevet bogen Hjernegymnastik. I bogen dykker de ned i, hvordan vi kan holde hjernen skarp gennem hele livet og opbygge det, der kaldes kognitiv reserve.
Forskning viser, at mennesker med mentale helbredsudfordringer, som har en høj kognitiv reserve, ofte oplever færre tilbagefald, lavere risiko for psykiatrisk indlæggelse og en bedre livskvalitet. Denne reserve kan styrkes gennem regelmæssige mentale udfordringer og stimulerende aktiviteter.
