Memory Preservation Nutrition® and 11 Brain Healthy Lifestyles
Brain Health and Wellness Center informs people about eleven brain healthy lifestyles including Memory Preservation Nutrition.
Currently there is scientific evidence for Nutrition, Physical Exercise and 9 other lifestyles that enhance brain health. Every year, new studies are reported that extend our knowledge about specific foods or more specific details about other healthy lifestyles including exercise.
Evidence-based Memory Preservation Nutrition® (MPN™) is a unique program that pulls together hundreds of studies to create a delicious, easy to understand nutritional approach that will improve both cognitive and emotional health. At the same time, the MPN™ will help keep your body healthy too.
Memory Preservation Nutrition is fully described in a Youtube video of Dr. Nancy’s enjoyable presentation via Zoom for MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital, a leading Harvard Med School affiliate) program for families dealing with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, November 17, 2020.
In this video, Dr. Emerson Lombardo shares with us some of the science behind which foods help protect our brains from cognitive decline and diseases such as Alzheimer’s, as well as which foods appear to harm our brains. She outlines some doable goals and first steps toward improving our nutrition as part of her Memory Preservation Nutrition program.
In future talks she will share exciting international efforts to join nutrition with other brain healthy lifestyles.
A comprehensive summary of the MPN™ was featured in Anne Romney’s inaugural section on Brain Health in Ariana Huffington’s Thrive Global.
Check the downloads section of this website to find the “handouts” that previously were only available to participants of Dr. Nancy’s live presentations to dietitians, nurses, other healthcare providers and people dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia as patients or families.
