Happy Neuron
Brain Games

Have you been forgetting things lately and wondering if Alzheimer's is laying in wait for you? If so, Happy Neuron brain games may be just what the doctor ordered.

In a recent Good Housekeeping article by Sari Harrar, she writes

"I fear I may be hurtling into the brain-fog years. In a single weekend, I forget the name of a woman I see regularly, and have trouble identifying a favorite shrub." Sari's experience is echoed by many older adults.

Brain scientist, Michael Merzenich recently said this about the brain.

"If it's not exercised, it slowly dies off, and its death contributes to end-of-life catastrophes such as... Alzheimer's disease."

The good news is that you can greatly reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimers with high quality scientifically designed brain programs that produce improvements in the following areas:

Memory
Memory exercises target the types of memory that are important in everyday life such as working memory, spatial memory, and remembering names and faces.

Attention
Concentrating on relevant information while ignoring irrelevant information is improved by games that exercise visual attention, selective attention, and shifting focus.

Processing Speed
Speed of processing underlies how quickly a person can think, take in sensory information, or conduct other cognitive processes such as comprehending language.

Cognitive Control
Control of other cognitive processes is necessary for thinking and acting according to internal goals.

I'm Gene Millen. In 1990, at age 59, a heart surgeon, sawed open my chest and stitched in bypasses to six of my favorite heart arteries.

It wasn't as much fun as you might think...and propelled me into a new career, with the mission of helping others avoid my mistakes.

Now at age 77 my heart is healthy and my brain seems to be working just fine (contrary to what some my friends opine.) My web site Heart Health For Life receives more than 6,000 visitors each month.

During the last fifteen years, I have worked with hundreds of the over 50 crowd as co-owner of the Vital Life Health and Wellness Center with my wife Bernie.

In addition to authoring two websites I am the Fitness Director of a vital retirement community located in the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley of California.

I've know for a long time that what benefits the heart is also good for the brain, but it was only in the last few months that I made the amazing discovery that it is possible to build new brain cells (neurons), rejuvenate aging memories and dramatically lower the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

An easy and fun way to do this is with brain fitness programs. There are a lot of brain games on the market but not many that have been tested and proven to work.

Lumosity is not the only "brain-training" site I've reviewed, but it is one of the most scientific. The games have been lab-tested and shown to improve memory, attention and processing speed.

Two of my favorites are Bird Watching and Monster Garden They are surprisingly fun, and I also like the feature of being able to track my progress.

For a Free Trial go to Scientific Brain Training: Lumosity Brain Fitness Program. The cost is only $6.60 a month.

May your Brain be nimble brain be quick.

Quicker than lightning...never missing a trick!
