Just a Bite

Brain Aerobics Weekly

Wiser Now, Inc. is a publishing, training and curriculum development company offering a variety of products and services primarily related to aging well. For more than a dozen years, CEO Kathy Laurenhue has been interested in positive mental stimulation, meaning keeping your brain active while:

Building self-esteem
Nurturing strengths and
Having fun

In addition to leading workshops on this topic, she is the author of Brain Aerobics Weekly, a subscription-based, downloadable publication that offers exercises in logic/trivia, word games, using your imagination, discussion topics and other categories.

This blog is focused on keeping your brain active and having fun doing it. If you would like to know more about Brain Aerobics Weekly, go directly to Brain Aerobics Weekly or to her comprehensive website, WISER NOW.

If you also have an interest in Alzheimer’s disease, caregivers and other aging issues, check out the blog wisernowblog and the corresponding website, WiserNowAlz, which provides information on her books and monthly, subscription-based newsletter for family and professional Alzheimer’s caregivers called Wiser Now Alzheimer’s Disease Caregiver Tips. Kathy is widely known for her highly practical and upbeat materials.

As I have noted in Brain Aerobics Weekly, these resources can be enjoyable ways of stretching your brain, but I suggest two cautions:
1) When playing with older adults, and particularly those with memory loss, throw out the buzzers and timers and play for the simple enjoyment of challenging your mind. How quickly you react really doesn’t matter.
2) Remember that learning new information – that is, looking up the answers – is just as good for your brain as reinforcing existing pathways to what you already know.
