Research shows that brain health and brain fitness are one of the most popular concerns among older adults today. Whether trying to exercise the brain like you exercise the body, or trying to figure out if “mild-forgetfulness” is something more serious, older adults are looking for help in keeping their minds healthy and fit.
This demand has created a fast-growing brain fitness industry for software, online resources and training programs for older adults and the organizations that serve them.
Here are some websites that you will find useful for brain health resources for you and your clients:
- http://www.sharpbrains.com/ –This is the leading consulting group in this new field. They have lots of interesting resources, including a good checklist for choosing the right brain fitness program.
- www.cdc.gov/aging/healthybrain/index.htm -- This provides information and resources on the government’s healthy brain initiative.
Some leading brain fitness software/training companies:
Our company, ACP, Inc., has published a popular senior health education wall calendar for more than 20 years. This fall, we are introducing both a personalized brain fitness wall calendar and pocket planner.
