July 22nd is World Brain Day, bringing widespread attention to the importance of maintaining brain health.

To mark World Brain Day, here are a few tips to maintain a healthy brain:
🧠 Be physically active - this can help reduce risk factors for dementia, including depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, and more.
🧠 Be socially active - research shows that regularly interacting with others may help reduce your risk of developing dementia.
🧠 Follow an enjoyable healthy diet - nutritious foods can help maintain brain function and fight cognitive decline in the long-term.
🧠 Challenge your brain - some people living with dementia have reported that challenging their brain helps them live well and manage their daily activities.
🧠 Manage stress - persistent stress can cause vascular changes and chemical imbalances that are damaging to the brain.
🧠 Make conscious and safe choices - this can reduce risk factors for dementia, including head injuries, hearing loss, high alcohol consumption, and smoking.

➡️Want to assist with the Alzheimer Society's Music Project? Consider donating a USB charging brick today to help individuals living with dementia experience the joys of music!

💡Engaging with music can help stimulate memories, reduce anxiety, and improve the mood of individuals experiencing the symptoms of dementia.

Unfortunately, not all participants have a charging cube at home. Without one, they may not be able to use their MP3 players and miss out on the comfort and benefits of music.
Your donation can help remove this small but important barrier.

To donate, please email [email protected] or mail your charging cube to 20 Eglinton Avenue West, 16th Floor, Toronto, ON, M4R 1K8.
