Description: What’s good for your body is good for your brain. That means eating a balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies and not much sugar, saturated fat, or alcohol, as well as getting enough exercise and sleeping about eight hours a night. But evidence is accumulating that a whole host of other activities can help keep our brains young even as we advance in
chronological age. Moments of forgetfulness happen to everyone - even the young. But as we get older, forgetfulness may leave us wondering if we’re losing our mental edge. The specter of Alzheimer’s disease may even loom in our mind. Such feelings are natural - surveys suggest that cognitive dysfunction is among the most feared health problems - and it can be comforting to know the facts, understand the difference between “normal” changes and serious disease, and take steps to improve or maintain your brain health.
Purpose: Learn ways to improve or maintain brain health
