Brain Longevity and Alzheimer's Prevention: Lifestyle Strategies for Cognitive Health


Listen Later

Jane Stelboum, a yoga instructor and Certified Brain Longevity® Specialist, with a background in advertising, shares her insights on brain longevity and Alzheimer's prevention. Drawing from personal experience with her mother's Alzheimer's and Lewy body dementia, Jane emphasizes the importance of lifestyle choices in maintaining brain health. She highlights the four pillars of Alzheimer's prevention: stress management, diet, exercise, and spiritual fitness. Stress management involves techniques like yoga and breathing exercises to reduce cortisol levels.

A Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, is recommended for its potential to lower Alzheimer's risk. Exercise, both physical and mental, is crucial for brain health, with yoga offering unique benefits through poses that stimulate brain activity.

Spiritual fitness, encompassing connections to community and nature, combats isolation and loneliness. Jane also underscores the significance of quality sleep for cognitive health. Through her company, Sarasvate, she offers workshops and one-on-one coaching to share these tools, aiming to enhance the quality of life for individuals and caregivers alike.
