Current science suggests to achieve sharper thinking and ward memory loss, we must practice better health habits across the three main dimensions of wellness: physical, intellectual, and socio-emotional health. Pursuing activities that promote engagement in all these areas- such as getting regular exercise, playing games that test our ability to “think fast,” stretching our minds with new intellectual pursuits, and staying socially connected-are all paths to better brain fitness. This class will be, hands-on and socially engaging, and will teach us the tools to use to help keep us sharp and maintain brain vitality over our lifetime. Open to all residents and Wellness Center members.
