Join Paul McIntyre to celebrate the release of Use It or Lose It, launched by Director of the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre James Vickers.
In Use It or Lose It Paul McIntyre, host of ABC Radio’s ‘Medical Matters’, sorts the fact from the fiction and reveals the practical measures we can all take to keep our body in good shape and our brain sharp and alert. Because when it comes to positive ageing, our physical and mental health are one and the same. Believe it or not, preventing a disease as serious as dementia is as much about pursuing interests and having a flourishing social life as it is about standard health prescriptions. Good nutrition, regular exercise, relaxation, social interaction and healthy activities are paramount for your body and your brain and your emotional outlook as you get older.
We all want to age well, but what does that really mean? Should we be playing endless Sudoku to stimulate our brains, or power-walking our way to eternal youth?
