So I have family that has/had Alzheimers and Dementia. Also working in healthcare I have taken care of people with memory loss problems. So it got me thinking about trying to keep my brain working. I know there is no cure out there for these problems YET but I've read there are ways to prolong such things by "brain games."
A while back, before my little punkin baby, I purchased Brain Challenge on the X-box for $4.99. I love it! Plus you can try the Free demo out before you buy it. Sadly becoming a mama has tapered off my game console playing time so I wanted to find another option.
My latest kick is Lumosity. I purchased the month option for $12 to see what it was like. The yearly option is for about $4.24/month but you have to buy all 12 months upfront. I have been really really liking it. It was designed by neuroscientists and the subscription money goes towards scientist's neuro research. They've made those (annoying) IQ test problems into games and being the nerd I am loves that. Also loving that it can be accessed on tablets, phones and your PC.
What do you think? Have you tried these or anything else to challenge your brain? What did you think of them?
Thanks All,
Jen :)
