blogging on brain fitness
These days, it seems as everyone is touting brain fitness. While people may disagree on exactly the best way to do this, there is little doubt that keeping your mind engaged with the world around you has myriad benefits and will keep you thinking more clearly and effectively as you age. There are so many different programs and techniques claiming to be the best approach to maintaining a healthy mind – from brain games and cognitive training to hypnosis and biofeedback to meditation and medications – it can be hard to sort it all all out (the only things everyone agrees on are getting exercise, eating well, reducing stress and being social). The truth probably lies somewhere in between, as a multi-faceted approach that requires you to use your brain in numerous different ways is probably the best approach.
Considering all this information out there, I have decided to create this page as a repository of all the various articles, ideas, scientific findings and other news coming out regarding brain fitness and cognitive health. I’ll update this post regularly as I come across new content. Please feel free to leave comments on this post if there is a particular resource that I have omitted that you feel would be valuable to my readers.

A quick note to the younger folks in the crowd: all this information, while aimed at the older generation, totally applies to you as well. The sooner you start cultivating a healthy and diverse mental environment, the more likely you are to avoid mental decline as you age. So don’t read these things and think “hey I’m too young to have to worry about this” because starting now will only make it easier for you down the road.
