Strong Legs, Sharp Mind: How Muscle Health Protects Your Brain

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. While many think brain health starts in the head, research shows it also begins in the muscles—especially the large muscles of the legs.
In this 30-minute presentation, Dr. Jengyu Lai from Rochester Clinic will explain how leg strength improves circulation to the brain, supports blood sugar balance, and helps reduce insulin resistance—an important factor linked to cognitive decline.
Participants will learn how walking, strength training, and balance exercises can support both mobility and brain health. This session will share simple ways for seniors to build muscle, improve circulation, and protect long-term cognitive vitality.
Mei Liu will also showcase delicious plant-power foods packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, along with easy-to-follow recipes.
