Please join us and AARP to better understand the importance of the brain’s role in cognitive health and overall wellness as you age.
Rachel Lazarus, PhD, will discuss Staying Sharp, a program from AARP that offers science-based resources related to the six pillars of brain health and other aspects of cognitive aging. The pillars of brain health are based on scientific research that shows a healthy lifestyle protects the brain. Staying Sharp helps you develop meaningful and lasting brain-healthy practices.
Lindsay Chura, PhD, will introduce you to AARP’s Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH), a collective created by AARP to provide trusted information about how to support brain health. A governance committee of approximately a dozen experts from around the world comprises the hub, and it leads issue specialists in examining priority areas such as physical exercise, cognitively stimulating activity, mental well being, diet, sleep, stress, social engagement and supplements.
Cognitive wellness has great impact on quality of life. We are pleased to offer these compelling resources for support. So listen in, share your concerns and ask questions as you learn new ways to age well.
