Amazing Place offers brain health, dementia presentations
It’s never too early to learn how to protect your brain. Many are surprised to learn that changes in the brain can occur decades before signs and symptoms of dementia appear, which makes living a brainhealthy life even more important.
Others wonder as we age if our memory changes are normal or possibly a sign of dementia. Many are still confused about the various types of dementia and their symptoms. These are just some of the topics Amazing Place, Houston’s only day program for adults with mild to moderate dementia, addresses in free presentations throughout the community. Over the last three years, Amazing Place has reached over 6,500 individuals at various companies, churches and organizations with this information.
Topics include: The Keys to Healthy Aging; Food for Thought; How the Arts Are Good for Your Brain; Worried about Your Memory? It May Not Be Dementia; Dementia 101; Managing the Dementia Caregivers’ Journey; and Inspiring Life Lessons from Those with Dementia.
Some of the things discussed in these informative talks are:
Which foods are most toxic to the brain;
The most important thing you can do for your brain health;
Conditions that can mimic dementia, but are not and may even be reversible;
Effective tips for managing the stress of caregiving someone with dementia;
Different types of dementia and what to expect from each.
