Brain Function May Improve with Internet Use

Your aging parent could improve brain function if he likes to surf on The Internet
Brain function may improve with Internet use, according to a new study.
What’s more, the study is bringing up the possibility that the Internet may actually be changing brains.
Is this possible?
Yes, according to Dr. Gary Small, professor of psychiatry at UCLA.
As we know, one of the biggest problems of old age is dementia and the loss of thinking skills.
But these dramatic results may hold a key for future seniors who will be able to help maintain some of their brain skills because of Internet surfing.
That’s because tests are showing that seniors are improving even if they have only been spending a small amount of time surfing.
Our conclusion?
If your aging parent likes to surf on the internet help him stay interested. Make sure his computer is working and encourage him to spend more time working and playing with it.

This is good news for me. I am 46 years old and sometimes I feel I’m having trouble memorizing names and events which is not my problem before. I thought I needed a brain booster vitamins or something. But then, let me try surfing the net first. Thanks for this post.
