Brain Health:
InSight
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.
Brain Health:
POSIT
This is an amazing brain health computer program.
Come see if it’s right for you. Call the GSC and ask for Liz - she’ll
set up an appointment for you to meet with one of the coaches and see if
this program meets your needs. Call (206) 297-0875 to schedule. Cost:
$50.
