A free program to prevent dementia is launched

Preserving brain health is one of the most important social and economic challenges of our time. In recent decades, with the increase in life expectancy, the frequency of the occurrence of brain diseases in the elderly has increased rapidly, and its impact on families, society, the economy and health care has taken on dramatic proportions. Dementia affects at least 50 million people worldwide and the associated costs exceed 850 billion euros. Due to the lack of effective drug treatment, the identification of the diseases causing dementia as early as possible and the prevention of mental decline have come to the forefront of scientific and clinical research.

The latest research results attribute an increasingly significant role to lifestyle and environmental effects in the preservation of mental and physical health in old age. It has been shown that a scientifically designed lifestyle can reduce the development of nervous system diseases in old age by up to 40 percent. Those lifestyle programs that simultaneously support the preservation of physical and mental activity and social relationships and help to develop healthier eating habits have proven to be the most effective.

Now you too have the opportunity to maintain your well-being! Members of the 65-75-year-old age group are invited to join the inaugural program, who can participate in an 8-month group intervention program that supports physical and mental activity, social relationships and healthy eating habits at the same time. If you have an hour three times a week and would like to become part of a community committed to an active, healthy lifestyle, sign up at [email protected] by e-mail or by phone at 30/116 9750!
