Off-line brain training may counteract many negative consequences of extensive time online, particularly the neglect of a healthy lifestyle. Chronic Internet and technology users generally exercise less, gain weight, and experience more stress related to multitasking compared with people who rarely use technology. Our UCLA group studied what happens when research subjects, instead of constantly manipulating hand-held devices and computers, adopt a healthier lifestyle. We recruited primarily middle-aged volunteers to follow a healthy lifestyle program consisting of cardiovascular conditioning, memory exercises, relaxation techniques, and a healthy brain diet. After just two weeks, we found significant improvements in memory scores, as well as dramatic changes on their PET scans, demonstrating increased mental efficiency in the front part of the brain, which controls short-term memory and complex reasoning.
