Train Your Brain: Nutrition, Neurobics, and Notable Ways to Keep Your Brain Healthy
The prevalence of dementia across the United States is staggering. As the size of the older adult population continues to grow and adults live longer, the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s and other dementia diseases will also increase. Despite the severity of the brain health crisis, there are steps which can be taken to better the lives of those who are currently facing, or will potentially face in their future, a dementia diagnosis. Education and awareness of the disease is key. Thus, the focus of this program is to understand dementia, the warning signs, benefits of early detection and diagnosis, and steps to better overall brain health.
Participants will learn that through adopting multiple healthy lifestyle choices, including a healthy diet, not smoking, regular exercise, cognitive stimulation, and social interactions, may decrease their risks of cognitive decline and dementia.
