A new Alzheimer’s Association will hold a special one-hour community workshop, “Maintain your brain: How to live a brain healthy lifestyle” at the Bellwood-Antis Public Library on January 25 at 7 p.m. This event is free to the public.
The workshop will provide information and resources to “maintain your brain”, according to a recent press release.
The program is designed to help American adults live a brain-healthy lifestyle and potentially reduce their risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
“Since the launch of the Alzheimer’s Association’s ‘Maintain Your Brain’ campaign, the public has been asking us for clear guidance on what they can do to keep their brains healthy and reduce their risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease,” said Erica Hood, Vice-president of programs and services of the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Pennsylvania Chapter.
“Our new research-based workshop encourages people to maintain their brain health by staying physically and mentally active, eating a brain-healthy diet and remaining socially involved, which are the key aspects of the Maintain Your Brain campaign,” she said in a recent press release.
The one-hour interactive workshop will feature nutritional and lifestyle advice, strategies to keep a sharp memory, interactive exercises and activities and materials to take home for further reading. The workshop will introduce attendees to scientifically rooted advice on brain health based on strong lifestyle choices, including: staying sharp with challenging mental activities, engaging in social interactions, adopting a brain-healthy diet and remaining physically active.
