🌟 As a Health Ambassador, I had the chance to engage with a group of inspiring seniors for a training session. Alongside the workout, I shared insights on dementia prevention—an important topic as we work towards holistic health. 🧠 Understanding Dementia: Dementia is a condition affecting the brain, potentially impacting memory, language, and daily decision-making, especially in those 50 and older. While there is no cure, there are ways to reduce the risk and maintain overall wellness. 360-degree tips for reducing the risk of dementia: 1. Eat Healthy 🥦 – A balanced diet with whole grains and proteins is essential. The nutrients you fuel your body with play a crucial role in supporting brain health. 2. Stay Physically Active 🏃 – Aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise weekly. Movement keeps not only the body but also the mind active and agile. 3. Stay Mentally Engaged 📚 – Read, learn new skills, cook, or take up a hobby. Challenging your mind keeps it strong and sharp. 4. Build Social Connections 👥 – Engage in community activities and nurture relationships. Social support can be as vital as physical health for mental wellness. 5. Monitor Your Health ❤️ – Manage chronic conditions, and don’t skip regular check-ups. Keep an eye on blood pressure, weight, and blood sugar levels, as these contribute to overall health. Each of these elements fits together like pieces of a puzzle, creating a holistic framework for wellness. A balanced approach—focusing on diet, physical activity, mental engagement, and a supportive community—provides the strong foundation needed to protect our minds and bodies. Let’s all make a conscious effort to care for ourselves and support one another in this journey. 🌱✨ #AnastasiaXCoach #HealthAmbassador #DementiaPrevention #HolisticHealth #CommunitySupport #MindAndBodyWellness

Why Supporting Your Lumbar is Essential for Back Health and Mental Well-being Good lumbar support is not just about comfort—it's crucial for maintaining the health of your spine and ensuring long-term mobility. The lumbar region of your spine supports most of your body’s weight. Without proper support, this area can be stressed, leading to back pain and spinal problems that can affect your overall quality of life. Protect Your Back and Enhance Your Well-being Here's why you should never underestimate the importance of good lumbar support: 1. Prevents Lower Back Pain: Supporting the lumbar spine helps maintain its natural curve, reducing strain and preventing lower back pain. This is particularly crucial for those who spend long hours sitting. 2. Promotes Proper Spine Alignment: Proper lumbar support encourages good posture by aligning the spine correctly. This alignment is essential not just for the back but for the overall skeletal system. 3. Boosts Circulation: Adequate back support ensures that there is no undue pressure on any part of the body, which can otherwise impede blood flow. 4. Enhances Mental Focus and Stability: Discomfort and chronic pain can lead to mental stress and distraction. By providing proper lumbar support, individuals can experience reduced discomfort, promoting better mental focus and emotional stability. A Call to Action for a Healthier Back Don’t wait for discomfort to become a serious problem.

If only there was an industry that was pivotal in preventing chronic diseases, enhancing mental health, and bolstering social wellness, all while potentially saving governments a substantial sum in healthcare costs. Oh wait, there is. #fitnessbusiness #fitnessindustry #preventativehealthcare #obesity #healthcare
The survey highlighted a substantial under appreciation of the impact of social isolation and mental wellness on heart health, with two-thirds of adults (68%) unaware of the link between social isolation and heart disease and only about half (53%) recognizing mental wellness as a risk factor. This highlights the importance of prioritizing not only physical but also social and emotional well-being as part of a comprehensive approach to preventive health care. https://lnkd.in/g82QhewB #fitnessbusiness #fitnessindustry #hearthealth #preventativehealthcare

Positive beliefs about aging can influence cognitive health 🙂🧠 “Among participants with normal cognition or MCI at baseline, those with positive age beliefs had lower MCI prevalence…significantly less likely to develop MCI over the following 12 years compared with those with negative age beliefs” https://lnkd.in/gkb3s8hc Positive beliefs are often associated with healthy behaviors and both can be strengthened. How can you promote beliefs about healthy aging today?

There is a concept that has some scientific truth: the longer we live a healthier, vital life, the quicker we will die, and we will live our remaining years in relatively good health, without significant medical problems. The concept is known as the "compression of morbidity." But to achieve that end, we have to start living a healthy life now, which means paying attention to our physical and mental health including our social and emotional well-being. If this is a topic that interests you -- and why shouldn't it -- feel free to read my essay on KevinMD.com, hosted by Kevin Pho, M.D. This is one of 51 essays excerpted from my new book "21st Century Schizoid Health Care: Essays and Reflections to Keep You Sane on Your Medical Travels," available here: https://a.co/d/0kX8IZp.

BrainCheck founder David Eagleman was recently featured in an article on Health.com discussing new research from The Lancet that found up to 45% of dementia cases may be preventable by addressing 14 modifiable risk factors, including high cholesterol and vision loss. Eagleman encouraged readers to ask physicians to check for risk factors of LDL cholesterol, vision loss, and dementia at annual wellness visits, even if there are no immediate concerns. He also mentioned readers can ask also their doctors for a cognitive assessment at these visits, regardless of age or dementia risk. As Eagleman stated: “Clinicians can catch subtle signs of impairment, potentially years before symptoms become obvious. It’s in these early stages that lifestyle adjustments—like increased physical activity, mental stimulation, and social engagement—have the most significant impact on preserving brain health.” Read the full article here: https://hubs.ly/Q02RQV4L0 #BrainHealth #CognitiveHealth #DementiaPrevention #EarlyDetection #BrainCheck
