Canyon Ranch offers these five Pillars of Cognitive Health
According to the esteemed wellness staff at the award-winning Canyon Ranch, there are five key factors that may significantly support your brain health.
1. Stay Curious
Learning a new skill — like piano or a new language — can help build “cognitive reserve,” the brain’s ability to stay resilient as we age.
2. Move & Groove
A reason to hit the dance floor: research found that those who dance experienced increases in the hippocampus, the part of your brain that processes memory and learning.
3. Build Community
Good news for social butterflies – people who stay actively engaged with others tend to experience slower cognitive decline.
4. Get Creative
Painting, cooking, and other creative activities have been linked to improved cognitive health and a decreased risk of dementia.
5. Connect with Nature
A little green space can go a long way. Living near nature may support lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.
Take a moment to explore the science behind each of the five key factors, and check out the resort’s upcoming Brain Health in Action retreat scheduled for July 23rd to 26th.
