We all face the daily struggle of trying to keep track of deadlines, bills, and other responsibilities. While it might be tough to hold on to every last detail, there are ways to improve your recall and keep your brain healthy. The Huffington Post picked up on an Associated Press article on the booming brain fitness industry. Companies such as Nintendo have created products that work along side with classics like Sudoku and can help to create and maintain mental sharpness. Now that's something worth remembering!

Since we're on the topic of memory, let's talk about how Congress seems to have forgotten its promise to protect the American people, particularly in the wake of the economic slowdown we've been going through. Al Dia covered an AARP survey which showed that Hispanic Americans are being hit even harder than the average American by the weak economy. Maybe members of Congress could use a few brain fitness exercises.
