Geisinger becomes the first member of Risant Health

By Paula Franken

Keeping your brain active and engaged is important at any age — and as we get older, it might become even more important.

Read a book, play a game, learn a new skill, find a new hobby, take a class, work or volunteer. When you stimulate and challenge your brain, you’re making it healthier. In fact, observational studies suggest that activities like these may lower the risk of Alzheimer’s-related cognitive impairment and dementia.
