The Benefits of Learning to Juggle

More and more studies have found juggling can boost brain health.

If you hate running and don’t like the gym, here’s something different: learn to juggle.

More and more studies have found juggling can boost brain health. It can even count as exercise. it helps with everything from hand-eye coordination to balance. Or, as one neuroscientist explained, it “changes how quickly you react to objects, how well you coordinate between two hands, and how you keep your posture under control.”

Just juggling two balls can have a positive effect, so you don’t have to be crazy good at it. But, a study in 2022 found that all 20 seniors in a group were eventually able to juggle three balls…it just takes practice.
