There’s a strong connection between healthy eating and a healthy brain, and feeding your brain properly is a lifelong project. While it is never too late to start, memory and cognition in later life very much depends on the care and feeding our brains receive throughout our entire lives. But cooking a delicious healthy meal for one can be a challenge.
Join us and Chef Michael Bonacini, co-founder of Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality and Judge on MasterChef Canada to hear his story, learn about the importance of eating well, and experience a number of his delicious recipes first hand, skillfully prepared by the celebrity chef himself.

YOU’RE INVITED
On December 2nd, the first-ever Women’s Brain Health Day, take a stand, and upend the way we view dementia and other brain-aging diseases that disproportionately affect women. Literally.
DECEMBER 2ND | 12-1PM
ARTSCAPE DANIELS LAUNCHPAD
130 Queens Quay East | #4th floor | Toronto, ON M5A 0P6

Join us and take part in the Stand Ahead™ Challenge by doing a headstand*, to stand up against research bias and stand ahead for women’s brain health, challenging 2 others, posting it and tagging #standahead, and donating to Women’s Brain Health Initiative**. This global charity is solely dedicated to protecting the brain health of women with cutting edge research and preventative health education.
Take a stand for the women in your life that you love….
your mom, sister, daughter, wife, or best friend.

First 50 people to sign up and participate will receive a free Stand Ahead™ yoga mat with carry bag and a Stand Ahead™ or Mind Over Matter® t-shirt.

Funds raised for sex-based research will be matched by Brain Canada!
Who will you #standahead for?
Light snack available. Limited Capacity.

Grab your ticket:https://standahead.eventbrite.ca

For more information about the Stand Ahead™ Challenge, please visit standahead.org.
** Thanks for your generous support!
*While headstand has the potential to provide wide-ranging benefits, the pose is not suitable for everyone. For instance, people with back or neck injuries, high blood pressure, stroke, eye problems, or a heart condition should not attempt the posture. Also, people who experience migraines or balance issues might want to avoid headstand as it may aggravate those conditions. The pose should be avoided during pregnancy, unless the woman already has a well-established headstand practice (in other words, pregnancy is not the time to begin doing headstand).

Engaging Millennial Minds // THE HEALING POWER OF ART
2020-01-14 18:30 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | Peter Pan Bistro, 373 Queen St W. (Upstairs), Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2A4, Canada
Creative activities are therapy for the mind. Whether it’s writing, sewing, playing music, or painting, a creative outlet can improve your mental clarity.
Creativity can reduce your stress and quell anxiety, increase and renew your brain function, and improve your mood. Art also enhances the communication between different parts of your brain, which is vital for preventing cognitive deterioration. These mental and emotional benefits play a huge role in achieving long-term wellness.
Join us to learn about the role art can play in health, wellness, and managing stress, plus enjoy an art workshop with oil and chalk pastels as well as a full watercolour experience.

There’s good evidence that what you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain, and ultimately, your mood.

What you eat, how you feel, and how you ultimately behave are connected. Eating foods that contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourishes your brain and protects it form oxidative stress which can damage cells.
