First Brain Fitness Webinar Series Announced by SharpBrains to Shed Light on Brain Training
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2008 -- SharpBrains, the brain fitness market authority, announces the launch of the first Brain Fitness Webinar Series to Shed Light on Brain Plasticity and "Brain Training (http://www.sharpbrains.com/)". The series is free of charge.
"What can we do to maintain our brains in top shape?" Alvaro Fernandez, CEO and co-founder of SharpBrains, asks, "Focus on the four pillars of cognitive health: physical exercise, a balanced diet, stress management, and brain exercise. Although often overlooked, stress management is important since stress reduces the rate of creation of new neurons and contributes to the death of existing ones. Brain exercise ranges from low-tech (i.e. meditation, lifelong learning) to high-tech (i.e. using brain fitness software programs)."
Mr. Fernandez is also a co-author of the acclaimed State of the Brain Fitness (http://www.sharpbrains.com/) Software Market 2008 report and teaches the Science of Brain Health and Fitness at several Lifelong Learning Institutes in the San Francisco Bay Area, including at UC-Berkeley and SFSU.
