This is an in-person, 2 session, interactive class:
In session 1, we will define mental fitness and explore possible risks to it. We will outline changes expected with normal aging, as well as brain factors playing a role in mental fitness. We will also discuss studies on healthy aging and research-backed tips on ways to keep
mentally fit as we age.
In session 2, we will try out some "brain games" toward keeping mentally fit. We will end our session with some relaxing seated Tai Chi.
