I thought this would be interesting to share.

I was sure exercising your brain would improve it, but maybe memory games on the computer are not the right kind of exercise?

Maybe physical exercise and diet are more important for the brain.

Thoughts?

i have heard that doing exercises using opposite hand/leg really help connect right and left brain. i had a friend who had a stroke and lost almost all of her mobility, but got a lot of it back by doing these exercises. i don’t know if it will make you smarter, but keeping both sides of your brain working can’t be a bad thing. keep old age away for as long as you can, right?
thanks for the info!
