Researchers find that combining LANGUAGE & ACTION helps with MEMORY.

It's almost like we are on to something when we encourage our fighters to SAY the combo as they THROW it to help them remember it :) :) :) :)

SHARP MINDS. STRONG BODIES. FIGHT BACK!

Turning Words Into Actions May Improve Memory in Parkinson’s |... Acting out a word or phrase may help people keep memory of it, including for those with poor motor control due to Parkinson’s disease.

There are reams of research showing how diet can actually improve brain function and prevent cognitive decline, both in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

CHANGING our diets, however, can be difficult!

Our topic for June is "Food as Medicine".

Becky Meyer will be presenting a demonstration of simple ways to incorporate changes into your diet to implement the recommendations of the MIND diet (if you remember, we had a presentation back before Covid about this research and diet!).

You will come away with recipes, shopping tips & recommendations, helpful websites, a daily checklist and encouragement that changing our diet CAN impact our brain and our resilience to neurodegenerative diseases, whatever stage we are at.

And there's more good news - what's good for your brain is also good for your heart!

Good food truly is good medicine and small changes can make big impact.

We hope to see you there!
