Can a hobby really boost your brain health?

The Brain-Boosting Power of Hobbies:
A Clinical Perspective

Engaging in hobbies is much more than a simple pastime—it’s a vital way to enhance brain health and overall well-being, especially as we age! 

Whether it’s painting, knitting, gardening, or playing a musical instrument, hobbies can activate different areas of the brain, promoting cognitive stimulation and emotional wellness. At Optima Living, we understand the importance of hobbies and provide opportunities for seniors to explore activities that nourish their minds and spirits.

World Osteoporosis Day:
The Importance of Bone Health

October 20th was World Osteoporosis Day! 

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones and increases fracture risk, particularly among older adults. Prevention—focusing on education, regular exercise, and a nutritious diet to enhance bone health—is crucial in managing osteoporosis.

At Optima Living, we strive to advocate for prevention strategies and support individuals in maintaining strong, healthy bones across all stages of life.

Watch Optima Living TV Episode 7: Super Bones to see Optima Living Principal Ali Shivji speaking with AHS Chair in Healthy Ageing Dr. Adrian Wagg about how to maintain healthy bones, followed by an exercise class with Westend Seniors Centre’s Dr. Haidong Liang.
