SHARP Corner -September 2013In the April issue of JAMA Internal Medicine a study of mental stimulation and

how it may help seniors stay sharp is discussed. Memory and thinking skills of 126 older adults improved after they were assigned daily activities designed to engage their

brains and their bodies. www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplusSmall changes in physical and mental activity led to positive changes in memory and thinking

skills. In the study three days a week for three month the seniors engaged in some type of mental stimulation one hour daily and some physical activity for one hour daily.

Activities included brain-training computer games, DVDs on art, history or science, dance-based aerobics or stretching and toning class. All participants said their memory had declined before the study, but all showed improvements at the end of the study no matter the activities they performed.

“Maintaining both an active physical lifestyle and an active mental lifestyle has been shown to have cognitive benefits that may include delaying or preventing Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Sam Gandy said. He was not involved in this particular study but did comment on this article.

So, whether you take a walk, do a crossword puzzle or learn a new language, find some time every day to challenge your brain and get some physical activity.

New and At RestEach quarter we publish a list of those who have joined the ranks of retirement beneficiaries,

and those who have passed to their rest. From time to time we are asked to provide the ages of the deceased. We have declined to do this after considering privacy and identity security issues. We are sometimes also asked to not list an individual. Not all beneficiaries are actually retirees, under some of our policies, and may become unhappy upon receiving congratulations from well-meaning readers of the “New Beneficiaries” list.
