DANCERS: An Education Tool for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia — Neuro Speech Solutions

#activity – Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is something that does come along with age. But, it increases our risk for Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The A in DANCERS is for activity. Research shows that activity has a protective effect and positive effects for those with MCI. The research suggests it may be due to increased blood flow to the brain with activity and increased heart rates. So, if weight management, lower blood pressure, lower stress levels and improvement in mood are not enough to get you moving, maybe this will. Protect your brain – walk, exercise, MOVE.
“DANCERS is an acronym created to help educate cognitively impaired patients, specifically MCI and dementias, about modifying their habits to live a brain-healthy lifestyle. DANCERS stands for disease management, activity, nutrition, cognitive stimulation, social engagement, relaxation, and sleep hygiene.”
