The Science of Healthy Aging

With an aging population surging, healthcare workers need to know the current science regarding how to help people age with mental health. This webinar presents the new developments in neuroscience, epigenetics, immunology, and the psychology of aging. We explore how some lifestyle practices contribute to various illnesses which contribute to mental health problems and dementia. Alternatively, there are well researched behaviors that contribute to healthy aging. This webinar will describe how these behaviors improve mental health as well as longevity.

Goals and Objectives:
Learn about the neuroscience of aging
Describe how energy production and efficiency maintain a healthy brain
Clarify the contributors to dementia
Learn what lifestyle behaviors are important to maintain for healthy aging
