In the past month there have been several times when I simply could not think of the name that I wanted to remember. Some would proudly call these “senior moments”. Yet not only don’t I like having these memory lapses, but I don’t really want to call myself a senior  — at least not yet.

Since I work with technology everyday, why not use today’s technology to bolster my brain power? Over the years I have come across many games and computer programs that will boost your brain activity. But now I was searching for one that could really help me…one that could train my brain properly and delay or eliminate Alzheimer’s, dementia, and brain decay.

Finding the right product turned out to be more difficult than I expected. A quick search for “brain fitness” on Google yielded more than 10 million results. After looking at a multitude of products I decided on one called Brainware Safari by the Learning Enhancement Corporation.

I was looking for three things in my brain fitness workout program:
1. A program that was clinically and scientifically proven to work,
2. A program that showed results in a fairly short period of time, and
3. a program that was fun.

Brainware Safari promised to be all of these. The documentation showed that if was rooted in science and clinically proven. The thing that really attracted me was the fun aspect. Brainware Safari was created for children 6 to 12, so I knew it would have some fun aspects built in. Even though it was created for children, it promises to accelerate any individual’s comprehension, learning rate, and retention levels.

Could a program like this really make a difference? Would a fun program for kids be fun for an adult? I set out to find out. The program lasts 12 weeks and you can follow my progress right here.
