Description
Everyone needs a healthy brain to function well. The daily choices we make directly impact whether we can rely on our memory, ability to make decisions, and executive function and self-regulation skills (the ability to plan, focus, and juggle multiple tasks).
If you are concerned about how your brain is aging, or someone you love has cerebral challenges, join us to learn some measures you can take TODAY to slow the brain aging process. We will discuss various lifestyle changes you can make, including those related to diet, dietary supplements, and physical, mental, and social activity.
