‘Heart’ your brain

Do you ‘heart’ your brain? If so, the challenge is on! Alzheimer’s Australia is encouraging people to take positive steps to their brain health with the launch of its latest campaign, the ‘Heart Your Brain Challenge’.

The challenge, which officially kicked off on Monday, challenges people to choose a new activity, pledge their commitment and spend the next 21 days enjoying their new experience with the added comfort of knowing they’re taking positive steps towards brain health.

By the end of the Challenge, you will hopefully be on your way to maintaining healthier habits for a healthier brain.

Fancy yourself a budding artist, a chef or a photographer? Always dreamt of speaking fluent French or mastering an instrument? There’s never been a better time or reason to start doing the things you love.

Research suggests certain lifestyle and health factors are good for the brain, body and heart and can help reduce the risk of developing dementia.

Take a positive step towards brain health and encourage your friends to join you. It’s free and there’s no fundraising required. You just have to start something new.

The choice is yours but don’t forget to keep Alzheimer’s Australia updated and track your progress on your online profile page.

If you need some inspiration, there is a list of activities and lifestyle suggestions for you to consider.

Get started and create your challenge now.
