Staying social allows you to find opportunities to participate in a number of different activities. Social groups offer seniors opportunities to play games, discuss books or other topics, and keep your brain working and thinking. The brain is like any other part of the body, the more it is used, the stronger it is. By being social and participating in social gatherings, you will keep your brain stronger and functioning better for years to come.
