More and more scientific studies do indeed suggest that mental exercises are good for the brain. They seem to help building brain reserve, which in turn helps postponing the effects of age and diseases.
Nowadays you can find several books filled with exercises. However it is more difficult to find an expert in the field ready to help you find the exercises that are right for you.
Active Minds, located in St Louis MO and managed by Dr. Michelon a brain expert, is one of the few businesses to provide a brain coach in addition to exercises. Check out their website! www.asharpermind.com
