Get Brain Fit for Life© with Dr Allison Lamont, PhD - in a class on online.

Allison's doctoral research identified six key memory skills seniors need if they are to live independently in older age. But these need to be developed in middle age - not later. "Advances in neuroscience show you can actually re-grow brain connections and improve your memory at any age, so reaching the magic 50 is a timely wake-up call that mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness," says Allison. • Get Brain Fit for Life...
The 5-week course Brain Fit for Life© was created by Dr Allison Lamont and educator sister Gillian Eadie after they had seen firsthand the devastating effect Alzheimer's disease can have on families.

There are a lot of people out there who are fearful about losing their memory as they get older, but they don't have to be," she said.
"If you're having 'senior moments', it's probably because your memory powers have dulled simply because your brain (and maybe your body) is no longer in tip top shape. But you can change that and take back control over what you can recall."
"I think this is a crucial health message to spread because we all know it's important to keep our bodies in shape, but for a confident, fulfilling older age you need to keep your mind in shape too.
"Early 20's to 80-year-olds have come to our Brain Fit for Life© course, specifically designed for people who are 50+. There's a lot of laughter and activity as participants learn simple techniques to apply in everyday life. And that's what Brain Fit for Life© is all about." Says Dr. Allison Lamont, PhD.
"Very worthwhile course & well worth the few hours it takes. Lots of good new tricks to aid the ageing grey matter! Roger Milne
