Studies are showing that brain training such as consistently playing online brain games can have profound effects on our mental capacity, regardless of age, and even repair damage. A severe lack of brain exercise and even stressful experiences however can limit the brain.
A nationwide clinical trial called ACTIVE (Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly) showed that 87 percent of the participants in speed training had increases in cognitive ability, as did 74 percent of participants in reasoning training, and 26 percent of those in memory training. The training effects continued through 24 months, especially for the participants who received additional training.
Exposing our brain to mental activities such as online brain games, reading, remembering important events, running errands and simply remembering where you last placed your keys are important to keep up as you grow older. Otherwise as you grow older you wouldn’t find those once simple tasks so simple any longer.
The key point here again is to keep your brain active with online brain games.

Wow. I didn’t know it was so much fun to keep your brain stimulated! I wonder if just learning how to use a computer and the internet in general can also help older people to keep their brain healthy. I’m sure the internet will puzzle me when I got over the hill.
Interesting topic. I’ve been studying it for some period of time. What I’ve found lately strongly contradicts your idea that brain training improves cognitive abilities. Well, in a large study of more than 11,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60 years, those who did computerized brain training exercises 3 times a week for 6 weeks actually showed less improvement in cognitive function than control participants who did not train their brains, but merely surfed the Internet instead, according to new research reported online. Whom we are to believe is food for thought indeed:-)
