BRAIN HEALTH
MENTAL MANAGEMENT
A GOOD DEATH
Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.
1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))
You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."

COGWHEELS #2: Physical Exercise and Movement
There are five important types of movement that affect our health and wellbeing. We need to exercise all of them to achieve optimum benefits. They are:
- Aerobics
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Balance
- Posture
In this episode we focus on how we move (or don’t move) and how the nature of our movement affects the health and wellbeing of our brain.
I use my own efforts to develop healthy movement habits and routines to explore why each of the areas mentioned above are needed to optimize our health and wellbeing. We explore how to find movement activities that are enjoyable and that combine as many of these components as possible.
