It may seem a little strange for an older person to buy themselves a Nintendo Wii but you will see rather quickly just how much good it will do for you and your health.

Especially if you buy the Wii Fit plus balance board. This will help you get fit quite quickly and as you have to get standing up to do the exercises and you can either jog or just dance to begin with, there are some lovely yoga moves as well which will help enormously with any balance problems you may have.

The main thing with the Wii is that you will have to listen and move just as they tell you, sorry, forgot to mention that during the yoga and fitness moves you do get your own trainer. You get to choose your trainer, a very like-able young girl or young man and they help you with how to actually do the exercises, so that you will not be doing the movements wrong and hurting yourself.

Alzheimer's disease is a disease that can be prevented...

...if you know what to do to prevent it and buying the Nintendo Wii can prevent this disease. It is all due to the fact that the Nintendo Wii was used during a project called Cognitive Fitness and Innovative Therapies which is a study to find out whether training the body and the mind at the same time using such a games machine would help the older generation hold onto their memories for much longer would help, and it did.

It powered up peoples ability to concentrate for longer and if it can get the blood pumping around you body, surely that will not be a bad thing, after all , isn't that what it is supposed to do.

Another game that can be bought for the Nintendo Wii is Brain Academy, were you can literally show your grandchildren and their friends that you really do know so much more than they do. The Brain Academy has memory games, logic games and maths games to name just a few and it can go up in the difficulty rating.

So why not treat yourself, or maybe give your children a few large hints for birthday or Christmas presents.

You will enjoy yourself this present lot more than if you receive yet another pair of slippers and if you practice madly while they are away, apart from enjoying yourself and getting a whole lot fitter in body and mind and preventing Alzheimer's disease and a whole host of other diseases that accompany old age you will be able to shock your children and grandchildren with your new found fitness and the fact that nobody can beat you on brain academy, no matter how intelligent your children and grandchildren are.
