that is true, as we are getting old, we don’t have work to do and then our mind starts thinking so much. To stop mind, make yourself busy with games, puzzles thats the good option.

I agree with you Trupti. When we are old, we have to “pamper” ourselves with such relaxing activities like playing computer games instead of getting stressed with so many problems around us. It helps a lot. Thanks for your reply.

An very informative article. Though I personally do not play games. I have seen many of my relatives and family members who are more than fifty play games online. They seem to enjoy the experience. I have also seen people those having no education play online games and enjoy the same. I keeps the mind and the reflexes active and delays health related issues which are common with ageing. The number of games and the companies too has increased and it has grown into a very big industry. Having a great future and market.
But too much of anything is bad and it would be better if it is balanced with outdoor activities like walking, just sitting on the porch and observing the sky, clouds, trees and the birds and other life existing. It gives an interesting insight into the life of different creatures who we rarely used to observe carefully when we were working or busy during the working years. It is a very good activity. Even seeing the rains fall or watering the plants also works as a therapy for the mind. If one likes pets they would be your best friends and so do books as they give unconditional love and affection. Writing and expressing you point of view is also a good therapy. Thanks for the share

Very well-said, Krishan Kumar, and thank you for that reply. Yes, old people have to do combination of activities to ease boredom and to keep them busy. Socialization or just talking with friends or relatives is one; walking, and as you mentioned, admiring the beauty of nature around us. This is the stage where people can usually appreciate the beauty of everything, because they were so busy with life in their early ages. Now is the time for “repayment” of the blessings we have, appreciating it, and sharing it with other people.
Playing computer games relaxes their mind, keep the brain active, and takes the person away from nuisances around him.

Mhmm.
Time consuming.
Having fun.-
It could be time-consuming for people who are still productive, or for working people, but for retirees who could not think of anything to on a daily basis, it is better to play gadgets, read a book, do some light physical activities that will keep their body and mind busy.

Yes, keeping the mind and body busy at old age, when many retire and passing time meaningfully becomes tough is much needed. So some dose of computer games is not bad.

Yes playing computer games can delay and reduce the risk of getting alzheimer but I think this only applied to games that makes us use more of our brain rather than fingers.

Swimming is my sports. I am a deep sea swimmer since high school. We live near many beaches and deep sea.
An advantage that both individual and team sports share is that it helps in bringing people of different backgrounds together to interact. This is seen in the attendance in the stadiums and different arenas.
