Cognition, Successful Aging, and Nutrition

Cognition, Successful Aging, and Nutrition is organized by Institute for Brain Potential (IBP).,,Initial Release Date: 08/25/2020,Expiration Date: 08/25/2023,,Description: ,This program presents evidence-based strategies to protect the brain from the toxic effects of stress, mood disorders, age-related cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s Disease, and related dementias.,Advances in neuroscience reveal that it typically takes decades for cognitive decline and dementia to occur. In the absence of disease-modifying drugs, recent clinical trials support key lifestyle changes and the adoption of brain-protective nutritional strategies.,Participants completing this program should be able to:,• Name several forms of memory that are vulnerable to aging and dementia.,• Identify how chronic stress can impair short-term memory.,• List key risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease and Vascular Dementia.,• Discuss how mental activity, sleep, or exercise affect successful aging.,• Name one or more brain-protective nutritional strategies.,,Memory and Executive Functions,• Emotional Memory,• Short-Term Memory,• Working Memory,• Habit Memory,• Remote Memory and Cognitive Domains,• Executive Functions,,Neurotoxic Effects of Stress and Cognitive Impairment,• Stress and Cortisol,• Depression,• PTSD,• Age-Related Cognitive Impairment,,Understanding Dementia,• Cognitive Domains,• Incidence,• Alzheimer’s Disease,• Vascular Dementia,• Lewy Body and Frontotemporal Dementias,• Cognitive Protection,,Brain-Protective Strategies,• Improving Sleep,• Neurogenesis,• Physical Activity,• Mental and Social Activity,,Nutritional Strategies for Successful Aging,• Blood Pressure,• Glycemic Control,• Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Oils,• Anti-Stress, Cortisol-Regulating Nutrients,• Statins,• Drug-Induced Nutritional Deficiencies,• Neuroprotective Diets,• Resveratrol,• Curcumin
