Scheduling a Virtual Neuropsychological Evaluation? Here’s What You Can Expect

Staying physically active offers protective benefits reducing the risk of dementia and maintaining optimal cardiovascular health. This can include:

aerobics (walks, aquatics, cycling),

strength-training (weights, bone builders),

stretching (chair yoga) and,

meditative movements such as Tai Chi and chair yoga.

Find an exercise partner to keep you accountable. This encourages social connection and routine.
