Brainfit for Life: A User’s Guide to Life-Long Brain Health and Fitness
This presentation will focus on Life-Long brain fitness and how to achieve it. The health of your brain is important at all ages; whether a school-age child trying to perform in school, sports or social environments; a working adult trying to handle work, family and life in general; or an older adult wanting to maintain cognitive health in your golden years. Your brain defines you.
Brain Fitness is about 3 main types of intelligence.
- Emotional intelligence is your ability to handle stress, regulate your mood and interact appropriately and productively with other people
- Physical intelligence is your brain’s ability to control the rest of your body, including heart rate, blood pressure, immune system and fat burning and storage.
- Cognitive intelligence is the health of your mind, including learning and memory skills, creativity and problem solving ability and decision making skills.
You can control the health of your brain with a focus on 4 main cornerstones of brain fitness.
- Quality nutrition. You’ll learn what nutrients are good for brain function and why.
- Physical activity. You’ll learn how exercise boosts learning and memory capability and keeps the brain young.
- Mental activity. The brain follows the ‘use it or lose it’ rule. You’ll learn what types of mental activities help keep brain circuits in top shape.
- Sleep. Downtime is as critical as active time and you’ll learn how much sleep is enough and what the consequence are of stealing time from it
