My grandmother loves crosswords, and at 93 years she is still very sharp!

Even if this doesn't delay Alzheimer's, it can't hurt to play these games just to better your skills in logic and reasoning.

I don't think regular reading counts... it has to be some sort of puzzle that makes your brain work extra.

I've heard this before... but I just want to sit and read "US Weekly" or something like that. Does this count?
