Boost Your Brain is Dementia Jersey's biggest ever campaign, they want to share the important message that up to 45% of cases of dementia could be prevented by taking steps in earlier life. The talk focuses on three areas: ‘Love your Heart’, ‘Stay Sharp’ and ‘Keep Connected’.
Love your heart – Many of us know it’s important to look after our heart by being physically active, eating healthily, and not smoking. But few people realise that the same things can help keep our brains in shape, too.
Stay Sharp – Regularly challenging your brain can help protect it as you age. Everything from learning a language to regularly completing brain training exercises can help.
Keep Connected – The latest research suggests that social contact in any form has a beneficial effect in reducing dementia risk. From group activities and volunteering through to simple things like having a coffee with friends, any social contact is good for our brain.
Book your place today and learn how simple steps can make such a difference in reducing your risk, it’s never too late!
