Can you keep a ball in the air while naming your favorite TV show? This type of exercise uses both sides of your brain, encouraging growth of those all-important brain reserves. Where else can you learn and exercise your brain while laughing?
Each of the 5 weeks in this brain fitness exercise program explores one of the areas vital to maintaining brain health as suggested by Dr. Paul Nussbaum: physical activity, nutrition, social interaction, mental stimulation, and spirituality. Included in this exercise program is brain health education, low-impact aerobic exercises, cognitive processing games, and stress management techniques.
