In a recent article in the Sun Sentinel by Bob LaMendola http://www.s-r.com/news/bylines.asp?bylinename=Bob%20Lamendola, he writes about a recent JAMA published study that the effects of brain exercise strengthens the ability of seniors to think more clearly and continue to live independently. This is the first sudy to link brain training to practical imporvemen indaily life. The author of the article Michael Marsiske from University of Florida suggested that seniors can “challenge yourself to learn things that are difficult for you”
Tips to challenge the mind:
learn new activities and skills
try a new hobby
learn to use a computer
learn to use a digital camera
Exercise the brain with games such as crossword puzzles, sodoku or find a word games.
