brain training games

Results from a recently released study suggest that computer-based brain training programs may reduce the risk of falling in the elderly. Researchers chose subjects who were having trouble walking and enrolled them in a brain fitness program for eight weeks to see if mental exercises would have an impact on their locomotion. After the training period ended, those who had doing the mental exercises were considerably better at walking and talking than those who had not received any sort of brain exercises.

As more studies like this emerge, the connection between mental and physical health becomes ever more concrete and the myriad benefits of exercising your mind become ever more clear.
