How Lifestyle Choices Boost Memory

Memory loss is a commonly feared health issue — a concern tied to losing a sense of self during years that should feel clear and wise. Today, new medications that slow cognitive decline, along with proven lifestyle and diet choices, are showing meaningful impact in prevention and care.

Learning Objectives:

• Discover how a Mediterranean-leaning diet supports long-term brain health. Research shows that many people who reach 100 with memory largely intact follow some form of this diet and often incorporate intermittent fasting.
• Learn simple patterned cardio-dance steps that help maintain cognitive sharpness, improve motor skills, and strengthen neuroplasticity (which is the brain's ability to maintain itself and create new neuro connectivity.
• Apply practical stress-reduction techniques that help limit the effects of chronic stress on cognitive function.
