Healthy Ageing - Canadian campaign urges: keep your brain active

- Mon, 7 Jan 2008


Canadians are being urged to commit to a healthy brain by engaging in healthy living this month in a campaign called Heads Up For Healthier Brains! that is being staged by the Azheimer Society.

"We are asking Canadians to make the commitment to do the things that will keep their brains healthy, things that can also help to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease," Scott Dudgeon, CEO of  Alzheimer Society of Canada, told news website CNW (for the full report click here.)

These can be as simple as being socially active, choosing a healthy diet and getting a bit more exercise - all proven in recent years to help keep the mind healthy as we age. The Society is also encouraging people to participate in computer-based brain exercises.

HeadStrong Cognitive Fitness offers a wide range of brain exercises aimed at targeting the areas of the brain associated with memory and concentration. Developed by a clinical neuropsychologist, recent studies have proven that regularly doing such exercises can strengthen the brain's memory pathways and ward off age-related brain illnesses like dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.
