At any age, there are lifestyle habits to adopt to help maintain or even potentially improve our health.
These habits may also help to keep brains healthy as people age and possibly delay the onset of
cognitive decline.
To help people age well, the association is offering the Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body: Tips
from the Latest Research program. This workshop covers four areas of lifestyle habits that are
associated with healthy aging:
• Cognitive activity
• Physical health and exercise
• Diet and nutrition
• Social engagement
In each area, the group will discuss what we know, drawing on current research, as well as what we can do
— steps to take now to improve or maintain overall health in each area.
Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body: Tips from the Latest Research is designed for individuals of any
age who are looking for information on ways to age as well as possible.
“We all want to age well,” said Pam Myers, program director of the chapter. “We have learned a lot on how
to care for our hearts — it only makes sense now to also learn how to take care of our brain.”
