Brain Health & Fitness with BrainsSavers
INSIDER TIP: Reap the benefits from a renowned neurologist’s life’s work with an easy-to-use system that helps your brain and body stay healthy.
BrainSaver is the “brain-child” of the neurologist Paul E. Bendheim, MD who realized the need for a more integrative and multi-faceted approach to maintaining the health and fitness of the brain. A BrainSavers pack contains items that Dr Bendheim considers the most influential in maintaining the health of your brain:
- Nutrition. All packets come with FoodForThinkingTM bars, which include vitamins and supplements proven effective in prevention of dementia, including Vitamins B6, B12, C, E and complex plant antioxidants, Omega-3 fatty acids and folic acid.
- Memory Enhancement. BrainSavers utilizes software programs for interactive memory and cognitive training exercises. Those not comfortable with a computer can use workbook-based exercises. All of the brain games can be done as group activities or alone. Each week has three exercise times which last about 30 minutes. You can even check out demo versions of the software.
- Physical Fitness. The fitness aspect of the program isn’t a strenuous one, but rather a program that maintains heart health through aerobic activity while also building strength. Each week has three workouts that run from 30–60 minutes.
Amazon.com offers a BrainSavers pack, complete with software, an eight-week supply of BrainSavers Bars, exercise band with handles and door attachment, and The Tri-Component Program for Healthy Brain Aging by Paul E. Bendheim, MD for $299. Those interested in purchasing the non-computer based cognitive exercises should contact BrainSavers directly.
Refresher: BrainSavers can help older adults maintain or bolster their brain health by targeting the three most influential components of diet, exercise and cognitive enhancement.
