Online games boost brainpower and prevent memory loss associated with age

Recent studies done by the psychology department at the University of Illinois, have confirmed what online casinos have been saying for some time; playing online games can boost a person's brainpower and prevent memory loss that comes with age.

Past research suggested that playing games online was a good workout for the memory, but until now there hasn't been much evidence suggesting that this skill could be transferred to everyday life. Last month http://www.casino.com published findings that showed how computer games can lift a person's mood. According to the study, playing online games can reduce a person's tension and boost morale. But the recent study published in the journal of Psychology & Ageing, takes all previous research one step further by claiming that online games enhance short-term visual memory, reasoning skills and working memory.

Online games have been on the rise since brain training games like Tetris have become so popular, but until now there has been little evidence showing that these games improve everyday activities. Studies show that other activities, in particular socializing, exercising and eating well, are also important to maintaining healthy cognitive function in later years.
