Delighted to have been part of Raising the bar @womensbrains
I confess I went a bit off script but the added gifs did the trick. DYK less than 2% of published studies consider women’s brain health questions? #WomensHealthMatters #womenmind

Many hours spent in front of an electronic device can take a toll on the health of your eyes. Trouble with your eyes can strain your brain & if it has to work extra hard to make sense of what your eyes see, it can take a toll on cognitive function. #eyehealth #brainhealth

A recent study published in Jama found that accumulating more steps per day just under the popular threshold of 10 ,000 steps per day and performing steps at higher intensity may be associated with lower risk of dementia onset. #dementiaprevention

To build & maintain healthy habits start small, both in terms of the number of behaviours that you target at a time, and in terms of the size/scope of those behaviours. The more often you repeat a behaviour, the faster a habit is established. Progress is the goal, not perfection.

Fruits & veggies contain fibre and a wide range of vitamins & minerals. They also contain phytonutrients - compounds that give plants their unique flavours and aromas, as well as their colours - found mostly in the skin. #memorymorsels #brainhealth #braintip

Music can be medicine for your mind, with benefits from memory improvement to stress relief. Research shows listening to music reduces anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improves sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory. #brainbuzz

Starting to forget? Alzheimer’s is not inevitable. You can reduce your risk and stay brain healthy longer by modifying your lifestyle.
