The BrainFlex Workbook: The 'Whole Person Approach' to Aging Well (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798678362117)

THE BrainFlex Workbook series includes interactive workbooks, each packed with brain stimulating activities that go beyond typical brain games. We are also excited to begin offering three different workbook series', each designed for a specific cognitive level. The first series of workbooks, (1-12) is for those who would like to take a preventative approach to brain health, the second series is for those who are in the early stages of dementia and experiencing mild memory loss, (or mild cognitive decline, often referred to as MCI). Our third series is for those who have Alzheimer's, (or any disease that impacts brain function), and have been experiencing dementia for some time, making this workbook ideal for those in the mid-moderate stages. All of our workbooks are designed for seniors who are committed to aging well, and this is why each workbook strongly focuses on 'the whole person'. This includes the brain, body, mind, spirit, emotions, and more. According to research, engaging in activities that contribute to the health of these areas is the best way for seniors to stay healthy and maintain their independence. The concepts of the BrainFlex system encourage seniors to be proactive against, or slow down, the symptoms of age-related diseases, including Alzheimer's. 'The BrainFlex Workbook' equips seniors with the tools they need to battle viruses and diseases, which will help them age well and maintain their independence longer. The interactive lesson plans are designed to be completed in one month, (2 lessons each week), however they can be completed as quickly as you'd like, or you can use them at your leisure. Our experience shows 2 to 3 times a week to be the most effective. Each lesson takes 2 to 3 hours to complete when done in a group, and about 1 1/2 to 2 hours if done alone or with one other person, however the lessons can be divided up into smaller time increments throughout the day. (Note: Lessons are a lot of fun to do with someone else or in a group.) Workbooks can be completed throughout the day, or in one fun-filled session. Much of the work will give the average senior a challenging brain workout, but we've also included worksheets that may feel more like a 'review', which helps maintain a good foundation on which other knowledge is built. Seniors facing the challenges of dementia may need some verbal or visual cueing. The BrainFlex System encompasses a large variety of brain stimulating activities, (creative thinking, logic, self-expression, reason, and more), brain healthy recipes (w/detailed nutritional information about the ingredients and how they impact the brain & body), various types of exercises specifically designed for seniors to strengthen their muscles, with a focus on core strength, maintain/improve balance and increase oxygen flow to the brain. Each lesson provides information on the BrainFlex concepts as well as other areas vital to healthy aging, such as sleep, positive thinking, maintaining good relationships, ways to improve communication and more.
