Nourish Your Brain for Optimal Health

Do you know that cognitive decline can be delayed even later in life if you make lifestyle changes?

Many studies done on brain health have indicated that improving your diet and exercising your brain can help cognitive activity. Eating healthful, physical activity and keeping your brain sharp with games and learning are all important for a healthy brain.

If you’d like to make some changes in your diet or lifestyle to improve your brain health, the NDSU Extension Service would like to help. Nourish Your Brain will be held at 10 am on Thursday, November 20 at First Lutheran Church Basement in Watford City.

This class is part of NDSU Extension’s Nourishing Boomers and Beyond program. The program is designed to provide rural North Dakotans age 50 and over with information and strategies to reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases. However, any adult can benefit from the information.

Nourishing Boomers and Beyond offers classes on a different topic each month. Participants will be able to take part in hands-on activities and discussions, and they’ll receive materials such as handouts and healthful recipes to take home.

Visit the program’s website at http://www.ndsu.edu/boomers if you aren’t able to attend a class or want more information on the topic covered in a session. Anyone can sign up for the free monthly newsletter by visiting the website or contacting the McKenzie County Extension Office at 701-444-3451 or emailing [email protected].
