New Brain Fitness Program to Fight Memory Loss
|
PERTH, Australia, Sept 19, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Western Australians will be the first in the country to take part in a brain fitness initiative that has been shown to improve a person's ability to think faster, focus better and remember more.
The brain health initiative will be launched by Australia's Aged Care Commissioner Rhonda Parker on behalf of Alzheimer's Australia WA at the Duxton Hotel on September 19th as part of Dementia Awareness Week 2008.
(...) Alzheimer's Australia WA identified Posit Science's brain fitness programs as the world's most effective memory and sensory enhancement products following an extensive two-year search, and a review undertaken by the Centre for Research on Ageing at Curtin University of Technology.
Posit Science Vice-President Eric Mann said the brain fitness programs were designed with the older person in mind and are very easy to use.
"They are meant to be used 40-60 minutes a day and for a total of 10 to 40 hours over a 90 day period in order to match the results shown in the studies," he said. "Of course, many people decide just to incorporate brain exercise into their regimen for 3-5 hours a week on a continuous basis."
