Mind and Miles: a Brain Health Talk and Guided Hike

Join the Heritage Center and Alzheimer's Assocation - Wisconsin Chapter for a morning to understand your own brain and experience staying health on Dane County Parks trails. The Alzheimer's Association will  provide you with a research-based program grounded in the latest science, including findings from the U.S. POINTER study, that explores how lifestyle choices can support brain health at every age. Participants will be introduced to the 10 Healthy Habits for Your Brain and guided in creating a personalized, practical action plan built around small, sustainable steps for everyday life. After the presentation the Heritage Center staff will take you out on a 30 minute hike on flat terrain at Lake Farm County Park to embrace the brain healthy habits you just explored.

• Learn about brain-healthy habits such as physical and cognitive exercise and nutrition
