Brain training is the buzz word of our time.
Maintaining mental sharpness is one of the keys to successful ageing. Brain fitness training not only slows decline in mental sharpness, but can reverse some of the loss already experienced
Australia's Aged Care Commissioner Rhonda Parker says, “Brain fitness training challenges the notion that we are somehow pre-programmed to inevitable decline in later life, in fact, the data shows that much of the decline in later life is result of lifestyle choices, and training the brain works in the same way that fitness training benefits the body.”
Brain plasticity is the idea that our brains are “plastic” and have the ability to change in response to new learning and stimuli. It challenges the notion that our brains become “hard wired” and cease to alter its structure and abilities after the first year of life
The brain’s natural plasticity means that the brain has the capacity to grow and change right up to death. Engaging that plasticity through brain fitness training has shown to not only improve cognitive abilities but can counter effect normal age related cognitive decline.
"As people live longer, mental fitness is as important as physical fitness as we look for ways to extend quality across all our days,' Ms Parker said.
Using the right tools and exercises, including a proper diet, will keep our brains fit and on top of its game.
