   Hi Joan,

   I hope things are well with you.

   Brain health is one of the top health-related concerns of the aging population and has been identified by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as a public health priority. The realization that we can influence brain health and cognition throughout adult life is crucial as 78 million baby boomers in the U.S. move into the second half of their lives and the country is experiencing an unprecedented increase in life expectancy to 78 years. This is an increase of 30 years over the past century.

   A national health education campaign called, BeautifulMinds: Finding Your Lifelong Potential, a partnership between life’sDHA™ and the National Center for Creative Aging (NCCA), was designed to inspire Americans to develop and maintain healthy, beautiful minds by incorporating key lifestyle factors known as the four dimensions of brain health—diet and nutrition, physical health, mental health and social well-being.

   The campaign introduces this year’s “Beautiful Minds” finalists, 11 individuals, ages 55 and older, from across the country who are fulfilling the four dimensions of brain health and achieving amazing things in the second half of their lives. A photo essay exhibit featuring their personal stories will travel the country through 2012 to inspire fellow Americans.

   If you would like to receive more information on the study or campaign, please let me know.
   Thanks,

   Jaclyn Grossfield
