Does playing Bingo make you Smarter

[ktbingo]

According to this study we bingo players are not just out of the house to have fun and maybe win a few bucks but we are exercising our minds. And since more women play bingo then men That would make us smarter don't you think.

Bingo is hardly the most active of games, and whether you play online or at clubs, you are unlikely to develop a fit and toned body in the process (unless someone comes up with bingo-robics). However, a study of 112 people – in which half of the group was made to play bingo, whilst the other half remained idle – showed that the people who played bingo completed tests more accurately than those who did not. These findings would suggest that though bingo may not help you develop a fit body, it may help to build a fitter mind.
The superior performance of the bingo players was evident across the whole age range of 18 to 82. While younger players were slightly faster, older players were more accurate, though the difference between age groups was marginal.

Anything that exercises the mind can only be a good thing. Plus, I believe the older people that do play bingo, stay physically active longer than people that dont, simply because they are actually getting out and doing things instead of just being at home.

And any activity at all will keep us more able to get around, plus the satisfaction of being with good friends a couple of times a week also adds to longevity.

Definately. My mom suffered a stoke in March and I don't think she would have made a quick recovery like she did if it hadn't been for the fact at 73 she still works and is envolved in a dance group. Go MOM

Older people that stay active through the years, are more apt to remain active till the very end.

My husbands grandmother is 99 this year and still going strong. She cleans her own house, goes to the casinos, and still drives occassionally.

Plus she has a real zest for life, and as long as there is a desire there to be the best you can be for as long as you can, you will remain a happy, active person.
