OMG, I love games! I do think that games like that would definitely help to keep the brain “fresh”.

Hi Chuck ‘n’ Gayle:

This is great information. One of my exercises is playing double deck solitaire before I go to sleep at night. I told my children when I can’t play this number game I’ll let you know I am on my way to dementia.
My Mother died from Alzhiemer (95) and Aunt Martha had dementia (92).
This subject is very important to me.

Thanks,
Alberta

I totally agree that mental exercise keeps us healthy. I’m “only” 59, but my parents and aunt are in their 80s and similarly take part in mental exercises on a regular basis. As an educator (not yet retired) I encourage students to do the same.

I found your puzzles interesting and creative. You might be interested in some of the ones I’ve created, which are now in a book. Check out my website.

Excellent! Great advice. We are only just learning how important it is to take care of our brains.

Susanne Jaeggi and Martin Buschkuehl’s study on Improving Fluid Intelligence by Training Working Memory (PNAS April 2008) recorded increases in mental agility (fluid intelligence) of more than 40% in less than 20 days with the right kind of brain training.

I was so impressed that I contacted the research team and developed a software program using the same method so that anyone can achieve these results. The software is perfect for improving focus and memory as well as mental sharpness.
