A study conducted by Alzheimer’s Australia WA has shown that two hours of brain exercises a week can help fight age-related memory loss and improve a person’s mental capacity.

The study was conducted with people in their 60s, 70s and 80s from a retirement village and a senior fitness centre who spent two hours a week over an eight-week period participating in structured brain fitness.

The program titled ‘Brain Fitness Pilot Project’ consisted of computer-based hearing exercises which aimed to sharpen a person’s ability to take in speech allowing the brain to hear and remember more details.
