Brain Health Strategies
We strive to education patients and families about brain health. Education centers on teaching the difference between fixed and modifiable risk.
Many things influence brain health:
- Fixed factors are risks we cannot control, like genetics or family history.
- Modifiable risks are things we can control that can impact our brain’s functioning.
Over the course of a lifetime, these risks can add up. Eliminating these variables could potentially modify the prevalence of dementia by almost 40 percent.
Wherever you are in your health journey, we work to help you understand how to support your brain’s wellness with the following strategies:
- Exercise
- Sleeping well
- Reducing stress
- Stopping smoking
- Limiting alcohol
- Staying connected with other people
- Learning new skills
- Eating well
We emphasize the importance of medical care and its importance on brain health, by monitoring for:
- Diabetes
- Hearing loss
- High & low blood pressure
- Atrial fibrillation
- Depression & anxiety
- Sleep apnea
