Event series "Healthy in old age" - Lecture "Healthy and vital aging - also in the head"
After the success of the "Healthy in old age" series last year, there is a new edition this year. Events on the topics of fall prevention, brain training, exercise and healthy eating are offered from March to June.
The series of events is organized by the community nurse Plus, the Konz care base and the Konz-Karthaus district management. Cooperation partners at the events include the district’s Health Promotion and Prevention Unit and the AOK Rhineland-Palatinate/Saarland. Participation in the events is free of charge. However, prior registration is required.
Lecture "Healthy and vital aging - also in the mind. Moving brain training against forgetting"
Research has been going on for years to find successful therapies and medications that are intended to help prevent the development of dementia. So far, unfortunately, without lasting success. Dementia diseases are still not curable. The most effective ally in the fight against dementia at the moment seems to be prevention. Because not only age determines the risk of dementia, but also our lifestyle.
With exercises from the field of neurokinetics, we would like to introduce you to motivating movement tasks for training the two halves of the body and brain. The brain also wants to be "moved", because effective and efficient brain training requires challenging movement exercises and must comprehensively involve the sensory system. You are welcome to incorporate the exercises into your everyday life in order to sustainably support the longevity of brain function. And when the work is done, a freshly prepared smoothie with the right nutrients provides a healthy dose of energy.
The lecture is aimed at senior citizens. Participation is free and at your own risk.
