I'm sorry but this was stupid research and came to a pointless conclusion, eat salad. That's what makes a brain fit. No!

Reading is and always will be the secret to improve the functions of a person's brain. See, I could have saved Cambridge time and wasted energy. But they did not call me which is sad. I guess I should send all the researchers a book and a Library card with "Try this " written on it. But they'll probably be too busy eating their salads to read the books that I sent them. I think I should go over and see what Salad creations they've concocted. They may not improve the fitness of my brain but they may taste good.

Or go for a walk while playing :)

What a horrible conclusion they reached - eat a salad? Seriously? That's what vegetarians do - quite likely the dumbest people I know - they don't eat meat voluntarily.

Note: This was said in jest - I didn't mean to offend vegetarians.

Forget cambridge - go to your local community college instead  ;)

All the brain training commercials I've seen only show people looking deeply at whatever they were doing as well as having fun.

I don't see where someone in a Nintendo commercial picks up a DS pops in Brain Training and then graduates from Oxford to end up rewriting the dictionary in 5 different languages.

It's actually excellent for older people / retired people who don't use their brain as much as they used to.

Keeping your brain thinking will keep you sharp at old age, your brain is like a muscle, if you don't use it, it will get weak.

Eating a salad will not help this, sorry.

Play a fun game, (and while I love racers... Brain Training > Mario Kart DS)
or have a salad.

I think i'll do both thanks.

what do you mean?

Don't play dumb with him salad boy.

LOL! That's exactly what I was going to say, word for word for the bolded part.

I don't think that's a great research, the way I see it this thing is supposed to have an effect over years, specially lessening the effects of aging. Their testing too is questionable, but they may have a reason for it. Also, shouldn't they get a proper control group?

Edit: Btw, I'm not claiming these things do work, just saying I don't like this research.
