On Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 3 p.m. at Inn Along the Way in Damariscotta, Steve Raymond will continue his public talks on preventing cognitive decline and maintaining optimal brain health. Steve's series of varied talks in different locations is leading to an in-depth Coastal Senior College Course held at the Lincoln Home in February.

This presentation will give an overview of optimal brain health, and will focus on the integration of cognitive training programs such as Brain HQ with Mindfulness practices to promote healthy brain attributes such as attention, brain speed, visual processing speed, and auditory processing speed with calmness and clarity. The discussion will then shift to why quality sleep is of incredible importance for brain health and memory function. We will discuss the Four Pillars of Sleep, and the ways we can improve our sleep to promote optimal brain, cardiovascular, and metabolic health.

Raymond is the admissions director at the Lincoln Home, producer and host of “Spotlight on Seniors,” and a frequent public speaker on many issues related to aging in Maine.

Inn Along the Way is located at the Chapman Farm, 741 Main St., Damariscotta. As space is limited, please call Sherry, at 751-6261, or email at Sherry@innalongtheway.org to reserve your place. The talk will begin promptly at 3 so please arrive a bit early.
