Socialization: Whether seniors enjoy doing the workbook with others, or alone, our unique 'Discussion Sheets' open the door for conversation at any time. Every lesson includes one BrainFlex "News You Can Use" sheet, focusing on a wide range of important topics, including the 'why' behind our BrainFlex concepts. Other topics include mental and emotional self-care, the importance of healthy sleep patterns, the impact of a positive mindset, healthy communication, tips on how to keep your relationships strong, and more! Each 'Discussion Sheet' is designed to inform, educate, and encourage conversation.

Nutrition: You are what you eat! Our goal is to help you to stay mindful of the impact food choices have on the brain and body, as well as one's over-all well-being, and according to research, the healthier the gut, the healthier the brain. Four recipes are included in each workbook. Recipes are carefully selected for ease of preparation, (no cooking), and enjoyment! Nutritional information in the primary ingredients and the benefits they provide the brain and body, are included with each recipe.

Physical Exercise with Meditation/Prayer:
Physical Exercise: Research tells us that physical activity is THE MOST IMPORTANT way to keep the brain healthy. Each workbook includes a monthly guide with detailed written and visual instructions, covering a variety of stretching and strengthening exercises. The goal of the exercise guide is to increase and/or maintain range of motion, strengthen the core and other vital muscles, increase oxygen flow and heart rate, (safely), and boost coordination, while reinforcing the brain-body connection.

Meditation/Prayer: Research confirms chronic stress ages the brain. It has also been shown that our 'mindset' impacts both the brain and body, making thinking and speaking positively vital to 'aging well'. Each BrainFlex workbook incorporates a variety of techniques, including breathing exercises, designed to keep worry and anxiety away. Workbooks also include an instruction guide for prayer/meditation and a list of self-affirmations are included in each lesson, which should be incorporated into this portion of the program.
