Listen! Does it make you a little nervous as you start to forget things as you age?
As we age, so do our organs, including our brains! But have no fear because there are things you can do to lower the risk of developing dementia, as we age.
We have to exercise all muscles including your brain. Here are five ways to keep your brain in tip top shape:
How to keep your brain in shape
Exercise regularly. Exercise increases the blood flow to your brain and also counters the reduction of brain connections that tend to happen as we age. Aim to do moderate activity a few times a week for 30 minutes ensuring you increase your heart rate.
Get enough sleep. Sleep helps restore your brain each night and helps keeps your memories. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
Eat like they do in the Mediterranean. Eating plant-based foods, whole grains, fish and healthy fats lower the risks of dementia.
Stay mentally active. If you don't use it, you lose it. Keep your brain sharp by doing brain games, like Sudoku, crossword puzzles, reading or even puzzles.
Get socially involved. Social interaction is the number one factor in having a long, healthy life. We are social creatures. Social interactions helps ward off stress, which can contribute to memory loss. Take the time to connect with loved ones.
My 10 week non-weight based program teaches how to live a longer, more satisfying life, through lifestyle, exercise, nutrition and attitude. You will have better brain health, less stress and live more freely without dieting or ever feeling like you have to look at the scale.
It includes a weekly lesson emailed to you each week, as well as, a weekly one-on-one coaching session and weekly strategies to live a longer, healthier life without dieting.

Right now, I am running a deal! Find a friend to do group coaching with you and I will give it to you for the already reduced price of one. That's $300 ($150 each) for the two of you for 10 weeks of coaching 2-on-1! That is a steal!! I can only take 3 groups of two so click the link above to set up a time to learn more!
Let's have some fun!
