Good brain health is a state in which an individual can realize their own abilities and optimize their cognitive, emotional, psychological and behavioral functioning to cope with life situations. Changes to your brain are normal as you age. However, there are to help slow any decline in memory and lower your risk of developing cognitive conditions like Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.
So, what can we do to maintain good brain health? Furthermore, how can caregivers support the health of those they care for while also prioritizing their own self-care? Join Employee Wellness this June to learn the answers to these questions and more. Whether you are a caregiver or simply want to maintain healthy cognitive functioning throughout your lifespan, you are invited to join Employee Wellness for June offerings focused on brain health and caregiving.
