Expanding the Playing Field with the Humana Cognitive Games™

By Growing Bolder

The National Senior Games kick off July 24 in Des Moines, Iowa, bringing together athletes from across the country to compete on the court, in the pool, at the track and beyond. This year, there’s an exciting new way for everyone, regardless of fitness level, to join the fun and keep in shape.

Just like your body’s muscles, your brain benefits from regular exercise to remain sharp and healthy. Staying mentally active supports memory, focus and emotional well-being, all key pillars for healthy aging¹.

The best part? Supporting brain health doesn’t require dramatic lifestyle changes. Simple, daily activities like talking with friends, learning something new or playing games that challenge your mind can make a big difference.

Research shows that mentally stimulating activities may even help reduce the risk of cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia². The more we do now, the more we’re protecting our brain health for the future.

Introducing the Humana Cognitive Games™

That’s why this year, Humana is making it easier and more fun to prioritize mental exercise with the launch of the Humana Cognitive Games, running from July 14 to Aug. 11 on HumanaGames.com.

The challenge is open to everyone and encourages brain-healthy habits through friendly competition. Whether you’re a seasoned puzzler or just getting started, it’s a great way to stay sharp and even learn a few things about brain health along the way.

Participants can put their strategic thinking and mental agility to the test with games like Block Champ and Word Wipe, which can help strengthen focus, memory and vocabulary. Every game gives you a chance to climb the leaderboard, earn badges, unlock challenges, and discover new ways to support brain health.
