4/14 WeeK Eleven: Nutrition for the Brain
Laughter can bring a new perspective - Christopher Durang
Hello and welcome to week 11 of Our Brain Fitness Journey!
Did you know today April 14 is 🎭 International Moment of Laughter Day 🎭 This special day is dedicated to laughter and its ability to bring joy and healing to our lives.
This week is our in-person class at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (JCC) on Thursday, April 18, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. This session provides a fantastic opportunity for those who prefer face-to-face learning. This is a great chance to connect with peers, ask live questions, and enjoy a structured learning environment outside your home. We understand that not everyone will be able to join us in person. Therefore, we will continue to offer our regular Zoom session.
In-Person Class:
Date: Thursday, April 18
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Location: Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (JCC)
Address: 4126 Executive Dr, La Jolla, CA 92037
We went over navigation and the brain introducing two types of memory systems involved in navigation and how the brain takes in and organizes spatial information about the environment.
We will move into lifestyle and habits; this week we will talk about what the brain needs to work optimally in terms of nutrients and the foods you can include in your dietary pattern to optimize brain health.
