    Studies Show Cardio Exercise Can Help Brain Fitness

    Thank heavens for my friend, Sondra! She keeps me on task so that I go do cardio at our local gym. And that’s important not only for my physical fitness level, but also for my brain fitness. The Jan. 18 issue of Parade magazine featured an article by Michael O’Shea entitled, “Boost Your Brain.” He notes that several... Read moreChevron

    Increased Blood Flow to the Brain May Help Stave Off Alzheimer’s

    Well, it's the New Year, so it's time I say it again. I need to start getting some aerobic exercise. My son has made good use of our basement bicycle, but I pass it by, albeit with a twinge of guilt. Too hard to adjust. No time. I do my yoga. My weight is not a problem. Blah, blah, blah. I know that getting the blood moving is something that is... Read moreChevron

    Why Stem Cell Research May Be Irrelevant : The Importance of Exercise

    Creating new brain cells was previously thought to be impossible in humans, but not any more. And you don't need to have an injection of stem cells into your brain to do it, either. As you may know, stem cells are your body's basic building blocks, used for repair and growth. And when it comes to your brain, stem cells turn into new neurons or... Read moreChevron

    Wii (We) Finally Get Started!

    The Wii has remained untouched since we got it, waiting for the company to send us a new receiver.  We finally got it today and the game works well!  My husband wants me to tell you that the hookup of the Wii console and receiver is not hard; on a scale of 1-10, with ten being the hardest, he says it’s probably a 4 or 5…I... Read moreChevron

    Weee...Here Wii Go!

    As anyone who faithfully reads my blog knows, I am forever in search of anything which will help my memory…and so the saga continues.  I have just bought a Wii—and the Balance Board kit that can be used with it.  I am flabbergasted at the cost of it all—I hate to spend money on myself.  Funny thing is, my... Read moreChevron
