  1. 6 Reasons Older Adults Should Play Bingo

  2. Surveys indicate that about one-third of adults have high blood pressure. Eating a diet consisting of lean meats, fruits, vegetables and whole grains and getting adequate amounts of physical activity are some natural ways to decrease hypertension risk factors.

  3. 1. Enhances Cordination and Reflexes • The aging process can negatively impact a senior’s coordination and reflexes. However, playing bingo and other games requires a certain degree of hand-eye coordination. Once a number is called, players must locate it on their cards and mark the spot. The speed required for this task encourages coordination between the eyes, the brain, and the hands. The increase in hand-eye coordination can help seniors delay the onset of mobility issues and several other age-related challenges.

  4. 2. Stimulate Cognitive Function • Listening to the numbers called, locating the number, and marking the appropriate square on the bingo card can stimulate brain function. According to a research conducted at the University of Southampton, seniors who played bingo performed better in a variety of cognitive tests that evaluated comprehension, memory, and mental speed. 

  5. 3. Encourages Physical Health • While playing bingo, seniors can socialize and share a few laughs with other players. Laughter helps relax the muscles, which alleviates tension, relieves stress, and boosts the immune system. When playing bingo and conversing with others, the brain becomes distracted and does not recognize pain symptoms.  

  6. 4. Opportunities for Socailization • Having a social life helps seniors prevent isolation and depression, maintain optimal health, and increase longevity. Gathering with other older adults and playing bingo encourages seniors to socialize. In addition to attending regular bingo meetings, seniors might also gather with friends outside of the gaming facility. 

  7. 5. Hastens Recuperations • Seniors are susceptible to illnesses and injuries, and playing bingo and socializing can reduce the time required for healing. If unable to attend bingo games in the community, seniors can even play the game with their friends and family members at home. 

  8. 6. Passes Time • Seniors who live far away from loved ones and lead relatively sedentary lifestyles may find their lives monotonous. Getting out of the house, playing bingo, and socializing can help them stave off boredom.
