The Alzheimer's Association Building Brain-Healthy Habits education program provides research-backed guidance on brain health and outlines the importance of taking action at every age to protect your brain. Research shows there are everyday habits you can build today to help protect your memory and thinking as you get older — even reducing your risk of cognitive decline and possibly dementia.

In this free program, you will: 

• Learn about healthy habits for your brain, like exercising and eating right.
• Hear why brain health is important at all ages.
• Build a personalized action plan for brain-healthy habits.
