Sensible chairs for adult education classes
As we age, people face a potential decline in social interactions and decreased mental stimulation. A healthy brain needs physical exercise, cognitive exercise, and social engagement, and brain health significantly decreases the risk of dementia. One way to improve brain health is through senior education programs. Adult education can include anything from learning a new subject or a new skill or experiencing a new physical activity.
