I used to work at a retirement/nursing home. The healthiest, most mentally sharp old man in that place, was this old guy who was always playing Wii whenever I'd start my shift. He'd play Wii sports and later on you'd see him playing big brain academy or some other puzzle games. I still insist that's why he was always so sharp, he kept his mind and body active with gaming.
