Why should I care about my brain's health? - Because our
longevity, in part, depends on the healthiness of our brains. How do the
brain's mechanisms work, what brain functions can we control, and how can we
help create and maintain healthy brains? Study results show that we control the
extent to which our brains are mindfully, rather than mindlessly, engaged in
the world. And, individuals who are socially engaged and mindful much of the
time are happier and live longer than those who choose limited social
engagements and are less mindful in their thinking. This interactive
presentation is designed to help participants learn more about our amazing
brains. Purpose: Learn how brain mechanisms work and can be
controlled, and how brain enrichment practices may improve our memory systems
and extend our lives Facilitators: Bill Furtwengler, Nancy Fazzoni |
