The MIND diet is a dietary plan that has been developed to promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.
The name "MIND" stands for "Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay," and it combines elements of the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, both of which have been associated with various health benefits.
Research on the MIND diet has shown promising results in terms of its potential to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. However, it's essential to note that the MIND diet is not a guarantee against these conditions, and individual results may vary. Additionally, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have specific dietary requirements or health concerns.
CEP Community Live is a supportive space that offers weekly informative videos and discussions for those with early-stage memory loss, also known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), their care partners and families, and clinicians.
MCI is a condition characterized by a noticeable decline in memory and cognitive abilities that is greater than what would be considered normal for a person's age but not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life activities. It is a transitional stage between normal age-related cognitive changes and more serious cognitive impairment, such as dementia.
CEP Community Live is supported by the Harriet and Charlie Shaffer Cognitive Empowerment Program. Through a unique research partnership with Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Cognitive Empowerment program is a research program designed to co-create a sustainable learning community that promotes joy, purpose, brain health, and wellness through innovation and personalized lifestyle programs, technologies, and physical environments.
Our vision is to empower people facing memory loss and cognitive changes by creating an evidence-based model for lifestyle interventions that can be replicated nationally and internationally.
Our programming includes cognitive training, physical training, nutrition, support groups, and a host of other topics to increase their sense of empowerment and community and hopefully decrease their symptoms.
