Bites & Insights: Using exercise and nutrition to build better brains

Bites & Insights is a community talk series offering practical and evidence-based strategies to support healthy, engaged living.

Exercise and nutrition to build better brains in aging

Learn how everyday habits like physical activity, eating well, and sleeping habits can support brain and cognitive health as your age—and what research suggests can help keep your brain healthy over time.

Join Dr. Jeremy Walsh from McMaster University’s Department of Kinesiology to learn how exercise and everyday habits can support brain and cognitive health as we age. Dr. Walsh’s research explores how these behaviours influence the brain, with the goal of developing practical, evidence-informed approaches to help maintain cognitive health and reeduce the risk of neurological disease in mid-to-later life.

About the Bites & Insights Series

As we age, many of us want to know what we can do to stay healthy and live well. However, with an overwhelming amount of information available, it can be challenging to determine where to focus our efforts to achieve the greatest impact on our health and well-being.

Join researchers and experts from the McMaster Institute for Research on Aging (MIRA) for Bites & Insights, a community talk series designed to share practical, evidence-based ways to stay healthy and engaged in the activities you enjoy as you age. Each session includes time for audience questions and open discussion. Light refreshments will be provided.

Bites & Insights is made possible through the generous support of the Hamilton Community Foundation.
