On the contrary, a study published in Nature found that
through the use of 3-D video games, cognotive perfo-
mance was improved in older adults with effects on the
brain associated with reversed aging and the formation

Strategy video games, in particular, have shown promise
in improving brain function among older adults and may

our lives. Overall, they can
promote healthy living and somehow
increase our social activities.

help boost our mood and help relieve stress.
