PebbleCreek Duplicate Sanctioned Bridge
Kathy Bergman
Good reason to play bridge:
Are you worried about retaining your mental health? Bridge has an allure for an estimated 25 million players in the U.S. Researchers have discovered that mentally challenging games, such as bridge, are well suited for older people because the games offer intellectual and social stimulation on a routine basis.
A 2014 study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that playing card and board games can help older people retain their mental sharpness. Researchers discovered that the frequency of playing games is associated with greater brain volume in several regions that are affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Those who played more frequently also scored higher on cognitive tests.
