Keeping Your Brain Healthy – Indre Viskontas Interview




Sixty and Me Show with Margaret Manning show

Summary: In this episode of the Sixty and Me Show, I had the unique opportunity to speak with Dr. Indre Viskontas, a neuroscientist (and opera singer) who shares her insights on how to keep the brain healthy after 60 in four different ways - nutrition, stress management, mental stimulation and exercise. We speak about the type of foods and exercise that support brain health and the importance of establishing consistent mentally challenging routines in our lives. We also discuss the importance of practicing relaxation techniques and understanding how stress negatively impacts our brain. She explains the best types of activities for mental stimulation including the value of learning a new language and playing games.
