TL;DR/Quick Summary: In honor of Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month this June, Kelly Stranburg, Vice President of Healthy Aging and Longevity, joined Fox 13+ Tampa Bay to share science-backed strategies for brain fitness. Joined by a Westminster Shores resident, the segment challenges viewers to rethink “brain games” in favor of purposeful movement and daily habits that build neuroplasticity.
With June being Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, many people turn to digital puzzle apps to keep their minds sharp. However, brain health experts suggest we rethink standard “brain games.” Research now shows that the real keys to cognitive health and longevity are movement, social connection, and new experiences.
Recently, Vice President of Healthy Aging and Longevity, Kelly Stranburg, was featured on Fox 13+ Tampa Bay to discuss how we can practicalize these findings. Filmed at our beautiful waterfront community, Westminster Shores in St. Petersburg, Kelly was joined by resident Barbara for a highly visual, active demonstration of simple, effective tools anyone can use immediately.
During the segment, they demonstrated simple movements that activate the brain, discussed the power of dual-task training (combining physical movement with mental tasks), and detailed the best daily habits for building neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to grow and form new connections.
