The Great Bend Recreation Commission will be hosting a free Stop ‘N Learn Session titled “Healthy Body, Healthy Brain” on Wednesday, April 26, from 12:00 – 1:00 pm at the Great Bend Rec Activity Center (2715 18th Street).
Healthy minds live in healthy bodies, which means taking care of your heart and cardiovascular system is the best way to protect your brain. This is primarily accomplished through eating a healthy diet and regular physical activity. The MIND diet is a proven way of eating that has protective brain benefits, including 10 brain-healthy foods but also 5 categories of foods that should be eaten with caution. This presentation will focus on ways to improve overall brain and body health and lower risks by adopting beneficial lifestyle behaviors. Monique Koerner, Cottonwood Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent, will be the speaker for the program.
