Memory, problem solving, attention, and processing speed are some of the cognitive functions that can decline with age. As we grow older, leave school, and retire, we are no longer learning new material and stimulating the brain. The brain, similar to a muscle, needs to be used or it will not function optimally. Eating a healthy diet and exercising are some of the ways to maintain a healthy brain. But the brain is also remarkably nimble and new connections can be created regardless of age. Brain Fitness works to engage the brain in innovative ways in a variety of cognitive areas and can help create new connections between neurons and increase mental acuity. Diversifying the cerebral activities in which you engage is key to your overall brain health.
