Mind Games for the Baby Boomers
Nintendo isn’t just for gamers. The Associated Press reports that a new Nintendo based game is designed for older consumers. It engages them in a “daily regimen of number games, word puzzles and reading exercises. You can test your IQ through various quizzes, and have your results saved so you can track your progress or compare with others. The game has become a huge hit in Japan, where even hospitals have introduced the units in waiting rooms and patient floors.
This is a great tool to maintain your mental edge and flex that mental muscle. As I reported earlier, there is more and more medical literature coming out discussing the huge benefits of doing the crossword puzzles, the Soduko games etc…This is just another tool to add to the list to hopefully decrease the rate of dementia associated with age.
We are finding that the earlier you take a role in improving your health the better you ultimately age. My goal is to provide you with the information and tools to prevent illness and maintain health and function.
