As we live through uncertain times, we need to keep our level of stress down. Mindfulness meditation has been proven to keep our brain healthy. It’s simple - but may not be easy. Here are some tips to do it at home. #brainbuzz #mindfulness #brainhealth

Exercise powers the body — and the mind. #standahead for your #brainhealth

Taking the #standahead challenge to raise awareness for women's brain health and the gender research bias. Thinking of my granny who had dementia. Inviting @lpearce to join me. Learn more: standahead.org/why-take-the-c…

It’s about perspective. Researchers need to incorporate sex differences into their studies because good science means taking everyone into account. #standahead with us and fund vital sex-based #brainhealth research at standahead.org

Thinking about doing it? Headstand is referred to as the ‘king’ of yoga poses because of its many health benefits; strengthens the entire body, particularly your upper body and your core, improves blood & lymph circulation, builds stronger lungs, helps digestion, & lowers stress.

Apparently 70% of all Alzheimer’s patients are women but the majority of research is focused on men. That should probably change. #standahead is committed to ending research bias I challenge @MrDrewScott, @andrewphung & @CanadianDadBlog to try to match my amazing headstand

Still standing strong for women’s #brainhealth! #standahead for the women in your life, by doing a headstand and donate to @womensbrains to fund vital sex-based research & preventative health education. Then challenge 2 others to help spread awareness!

On Dec 2, we celebrated the first Women's Brain Health Day with our Stand Ahead Challenge in support of the research and education programs @womensbrains. Thousands participated to stand up against research bias and #standahead for women's #brainhealth!
