Video games and Healthy Ageing



Physical and Psychological fitness is a must for maintenance of healthy ageing. There are various activities which can keep senior citizens physically and mentally fit. One such activity is playing video games which is often associated with children and teenagers. However, a recent article published by Chicago Tribute (http://trib.in/1aTm8i3it), emphasizes that according to some researchers, playing of video games by senior citizens not only promotes socializing and physical activities among them but also keeps their mind active and prevents depression. It is an interesting finding by researchers which may play an important role in keeping senior citizens active and positive and thereby work towards promotion of their well-being .

Points to Ponder: Can video games really keep senior citizens mentally and physically fit ?
