Alzheimer’s Association offers new brain health challenge

Those of us concerned about Alzheimer’s risk know there are many steps we can take to support our cognitive health, but sometimes the advice can feel overwhelming. Where to begin? What’s more important, exercise or diet? The Alzheimer’s Association is trying to help address this issue by launching a focused 6-step challenge, called “(re)think your brain.”

The challenge will focus on areas such as eating right, getting exercise, and challenging your mind.

Sometimes, a little accountability is all we need to establish a healthy routine. The free program uses an interactive tool to help gauge what you are already doing well to support your brain, and the areas where you could use a little motivation and guidance.

Each participant that completes the initial onboarding process will receive a customized Action Plan. Users can expect to receive via their preferred method of email or text:

• Practical tips to get started
• Tools to help build habits that stick
• Clear guidance from the leaders in brain health

Life gets busy and family caregivers tend to put off self-care. As we head into summer, consider taking the brain challenge.
