Brain Training : Brain Training Games Shield You From Getting Disoriented and Less Sharp
There is a lot of research published on what seems to be the newest trend: brain training. And if there is a trend, you can be sure the trade is all over it as well. Now that is nothing new, but before you jump into the sea of brain training, you might want to do some water-testing. After all, training your brain does require a little of your time and I am sure you want your time well spent.
So what is brain training all about? You may have heard that our brain slowly goes downhill as we grow older. That is a fact you may have seen around you. Now the good news is you can train your brain to stay clear and sharp, so no loss of memory, no haziness, getting a little deaf and disoriented will occur to you. That is great news, and the best of it is, in my point of view, no pills to take for that either!
Training the brain is done with games, mostly. There are some practical things you can do to train your brain, but games are most efficient and kind of fun as well. No you must be sure not to focus on the fun too much. You should seek out websites, because the web is the place to find these games, that take brain training seriously and that are worth your time. Seek out a site that specializes in brain training games, not a big site that does some training games ‘on the side’. These sites want you to come back so they offer mainly fun games.
So you go to a specialized site where the game designers have read a bit about neuroscience. If they did, their games are more sophisticated and intelligent. Next you chose some games to play. Most fun are the games where you can use your already existing capabilities, but in this case this is not a good thing to do. You would not benefit from playing those games. Seek out games you are not good in at all. That way you stretch your mind to and over its limits, you give your brain a work out like with a physical training and that is just what your brain needs. Challenges, challenges. And one more thing: do not play for hours and then forget about it for the next two weeks. Treat brain training like physical training: short exercises, repeated every day – at best – give much more results.
Why Brain Training?
The brain needs care just like the body
New scientific research shows that we can improve the health and function of our brains with the right mental workouts. In a study funded by the National Institute of Health, scientists found that memory, reasoning and processing speed can be improved by brain training. Moreover, they found that cognitive improvements persisted for at least five years!
