3 Brain-Health Moves

1. Get your heart going: Do 150 minutes a week of moderately intense aerobic exercise, divvied up any way you’d like
2. Challenge your brain: Socialize, study a language, play Scrabble on your phone, teach yourself to cook something new. Enroll in a work/life session at VCU. Check out the event calendar here.
3. Eat smarter: Fill your diet with antioxidant-rich berries, leafy greens, fish, and whole grains – and cut way down on saturated and trans fats.
