Avamere at St. Helens - Healthier Lives through Senior Fitness of Mind and Body
Over the past 30 years, scientists have found that exercise for seniors, both physical and mental, can improve a senior's health, mental fitness and memory skills. Studies show that regular brain stimulus can decrease the onset of memory loss. Another study from the National Institute on Aging also found that seniors, who commonly listened to the radio, visited museums, read newspapers and tackled word puzzles, cut the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by 47% within a four year period.
When our brains are engaged, we feel more energetic and eager for each new day. While a single senior health fitness activity, such as tai chi, can help kindle mental activity, true mental fitness comes from performing numerous activities. Which is exactly what Avamere at St. Helens offers.
