\n\u201cSince the launch of the Alzheimer\u2019s Association\u2019s \u2018Maintain Your Brain\u2019 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\u2019s disease,\u201d said Erica Hood, Vice-president of programs and services of the Alzheimer\u2019s Association, Greater Pennsylvania Chapter.
\n\u201cOur 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,\u201d she said in a recent press release.
\nThe 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.
