A vital interrelationship exists between brain health and other health habits that are of undeniable importance, yet many aspects of this relationship remain largely unexplored and poorly understood. A staggering 73% of Americans consume poor-quality diets, 50-70 million suffer from chronic sleep disorders, and 46.3% are not meeting physical activity guidelines, which contribute significantly to cardiovascular disease. Importantly, there is a pressing need to comprehend the interplay between lifestyle choices, physical health
and brain health, how they affect one another, and what steps individuals can take now to not only improve their physical health, but also the health of their most important vital organ – their brain!
Your support for Optimizing Brain Health will work to both discover and deliver improved techniques for stress management, restorative sleep practices, nutrition and other lifestyle medicine components aimed at not only enhancing physical health, but also your brain health. By working to better understand and improve the “brain impact” of these important facets of lifestyle, such as resilience,
nutrition, social interaction, sleep, and exercise, we will discover broader paths to better brain health. In the wake of a 75-year cultural shift toward addressing heart health, now is the time to spark a comparable change in prioritizing delivery of physical changes to positively impact your brain health!
Thanks to a $2,000 challenge match gift from Dr. and Mrs. William Green and a $1,000 challenge match gift from Molly and Steven Soper, all gifts in support of Center for BrainHealth will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $3,000 total. Your support to help us fully secure this matching gift is greatly appreciated. Can we count on you to go all in and COMETogether this year with us?
