The Brain Health Recipe: Ingredients for Healthy Aging

Did you know? Results from the U.S. POINTER clinical trial found that key lifestyle interventions improved cognition in older adults at risk of cognitive decline. These positive results underscore the message that healthy behavior has a powerful impact on brain health.

In this webinar, we will explore how positive actions can make a difference in cognitive health, and when combined with a program that targets multiple factors like physical activity, improving nutrition, cognitive and social challenge and health monitoring, we now know it can have a synergistic effect.

Join us to:

  • Understand what the “U.S. POINTER Recipe” is and how to incorporate it into daily living
  • Learn the key “ingredients” for brain-healthy aging
  • Hear about the trial results and implications for future research
  • Walk away with a simple, doable plan to optimize brain health
