The Flourish As You Age series of podcasts  focuses on mind management, but I wanted to take one episode to give you a quick review the Behavioral Roots of Brain Health. A healthy brain is the foundation for a well-functioning mind. Our minds work better when they are supported by body and brains that are healthy, robust and resilient. 

In this podcast, I'll review the "risk management" approach to brain health - minimize risk factors and optimize protective factors. 

And, I'll explain what we call, The 4-C's guidelines for effective brain health interventions. 

The 4-Cs are: 

• Causes
• Combinatorial
• Customized 
• Continual

The eight Behavioral Roots are: 

• Physical Exercise & Movement
• Mental Stimulation
• Social Emgagement
• Stress Management
• Good Diet & Nutrition
• Good Sleep
• Good Medical Care 
• Enriched Environments
