For the Tomahawk Leader
RHINELANDER – The Alzheimer’s Association is offering a workshop to help people age well.
“With the new year come new resolutions to live a healthier lifestyle,” a release from the Alzheimer’s Association said. “These resolutions have the potential to impact our brain health, in addition to our physical health. At any age, there are lifestyle habits we can adopt to help maintain or even potentially improve our health. These habits may also help to keep our brains healthy as we age and possibly delay the onset of cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease.”
The “Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body: Tips from the Latest Research” program will be held at the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Oneida County, 100 Keenan St., Rhinelander, on Tuesday, Jan. 21 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The workshop will cover seven areas of lifestyle habits that are associated with healthy aging: Sleep, smoking, mental health, cognitive activity, physical health and exercise, diet and nutrition and social engagement.
“In each area, we will discuss what we know and what we can do, drawing on current research, to improve or maintain overall health in each area,” the Alzheimer’s Association stated. “This program is designed for individuals of any age who are looking for information on ways to age as well as possible.”
