Brain Boot Camp - Fall 2024
Did you know Neurologists report mental exercise can reduce your chances of developing Dementia by up to 68%? We now know that age is not the only predictor of declining mental capacity but in fact there are many other risk factors such as social isolation, dietary choices, and physical activity levels that all play a significant role in our brain function. Almost 50% of dementia cases are influenced by lifestyle factors and are preventable!
Brain Bootcamp is a unique program created to actively promote dementia awareness and equip older adults with the knowledge, skills, and empowerment to make changes in their own lives and adopt a comprehensive approach to reducing their risk of dementia. This program focuses on implementing small and realistic changes to older adults' daily routine that will improve their overall brain health and reduce their risk of dementia.
A cognitive assessment will be given during the first class. These will be scored, and based on your results, suggestions can be made in which you can improve your overall brain functioning and thinking abilities.
