InSight: Focus better & Notice more
Would you like to: Drive more safely and
confidently? Improve your ability to concentrate? Retain your health-related
quality of life and independence? Your ability to see depends as much on
your brain as your eyes. The eyes take in visual information, but it’s the
brain’s job to process it. If your brain gets “fuzzy” as often happens with
age, your ability diminishes to take in, react to and remember what you see.
Insight is an entertaining brain fitness program available at the GSC that
does for your brain what glasses do for the eyes. It sharpens perception and
speeds up your ability to react. For a free demo of this beneficial program,
call Liz at (206) 297-0875.
Have you been hearing about the Nintendo Wii and
wanting to give it a try? What makes the Wii a unique video game is the
handheld controllers that allow you to move as if you were actually
performing the activity displayed on screen (think bowling, tennis, or
golfing.) Sign up
today by calling (206) 297-0875.
