Silver Pennies Mind Games: The Toy Store For Seniors Why should kids have all the fun? Our staff has selected the finest cerebral games and puzzles available from our inventory to offer Smart Seniors to help keep their brains in top shape! Why? Because keeping your adult brain in top condition takes training, just like exercising your muscles! Keeping mentally alert is vital to our health as we grow older, especially as our brains tend to go through a multitude of changes including physically shrinking, receiving less oxygen and blood, and even having holes develop! Without intervention, these conditions can lead to difficulties with attention and short-term memory, so it can become a case of intellectual “use it or lose it.” So, what can adults do to keep their brains in shape? Certainly two key elements in maintaining your brain’s shape are proper diet and exercise. A brain-friendly diet includes foods that contain antioxidants such as vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grain foods. Once you have eaten, you will need to burn off some of the weight and pump up your brain with cardiovascular exercises that keep the blood pumping to the brain. And where do you want that blood to pump? Right up to your brain—specifically the frontal lobe, and in particular the prefrontal region of your brain, that’s where your ability to be creative, to memorize, and to communicate reside. By pumping up your prefrontal region, you are also supporting a newly defined kind of intelligence called Practical Intelligence, which is your ability to use what you have learned in helping you deal with your day-to-day environment. So now that you have worked out your body and your digestive system, what’s next? Modern research, such as the findings from the Einstein College of Medicine indicates that exercising your brain can halt and even reverse the cognitive decline that comes with aging and improve your quality of life, and one of the best ways to do that is with the brain fitness that comes with games and activities for the mind—Silver Pennies Mind Games! The games and puzzles that are being offered here by Bright Pennies to both entertain and educate bright and talented children also provide the kind of mental stimulation that adults need to keep their brains in shape! That means that spending even just a few minutes a day exercising your brains with a Silver Pennies Mind Games puzzle or game can improve your practical and analytical intelligences, your creativity, your ability to communicate, your vocabulary, your problem-solving abilities, and your semantic memory—remembering facts and figures! Silver Pennies Mind Games puzzles and games are fun, easy to learn, and usually require no supervision for your special seniors to play. Silver Pennies Mind Games puzzles and games not only provide an entertaining social experience, but also a sound and challenging cognitive workout.
