Last Week: Week 12, 4/22: Sleep

Quality sleep, characterized by restfulness and minimal sleepiness, is essential for optimal functioning. Establishing good sleep hygiene practices, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a conducive sleep environment, and adopting healthy sleep habits, can significantly enhance sleep quality and overall well-being. Sleep is not merely a period of rest but a fundamental pillar of health and well-being that warrants our attention and care. Let us embrace the importance of sleep and cultivate habits that nurture restful nights and rejuvenated days.

This Week: Week 13, 4/29: Physical Exercise

Have you thought about the impact of physical exercise and the brain? In this lesson we will learn about all the benefits (and there are many!) of moving the body and the importance for the Brain's health. When discussing the advantage of exercise and the brain, we will be referring to aerobic exercise as well as strength training.
