Brain Gym
PRIMROSE BRAIN GYM
Participation in cognitive activities can be related to reduced risk of memory loss. Building a healthy cognitive reserve seems to be the difference between showing signs of memory loss in daily life or not regardless of the pathological onset of Alzheimer’s. The beneficial effects of cognitive exercise can last 5 years with work in the reasoning processes. Training that boosts the speed-of-processing can also make a significant difference and the benefits can be retained.
The benefit to a person in the performance of the Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) can make the difference between dependence and independence. Persons with Alzheimer’s can improve the cognitive and functional abilities with cognitive training.
The rewards of cognitive exercise are improved cognition and improved quality of life. The results are real and measurable.
The Primrose Brain Gym includes computer based cognitive exercises that can challenge everyone, physical exercise, and nutritional recipes to help make the most of the cognitive exercises.
