A news article released today states that playing the Wii Fit could potentially help senior citizens prevent falling, by improving their balancing skills. Doctors say falling is the biggest cause of accidental injury related death from older people.
So, when doctors tried to find something to decrease the risks of falling for seniors, they found expensive medical fitness equipment, but could not get funding to spread it. After searching again, they found that the Wii Fit was very similar to the expensive stuff, but on a much cheaper scale.
The Wii fit seems pretty enjoyable to me, and if it seems to work as a good fitness tool, as many people have said it does, then why not try it? Its affordable, entertaining, and health-friendly. Whats not to like?
