News from the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation News from the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation August 2022 President's Message Open Registration: Brain Longevity Symposium Dear John, Last year, ARPF’s research concluded that religious and spiritual practices, including Kirtan Kriya, are crucial components in the development of enhanced cognition and well-being, which may help prevent, and in some cases, reverse cognitive decline. We had an incredible reception of my publication last year in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease on Spiritual Fitness. This year, I invite you to join some of the world’s leading experts and researchers in the field of spirituality and brain health at this year’s virtual Brain Longevity Symposium on Saturday, October 15th, 2022. Participants will receive an opportunity to meet some of the hundreds of ARPF Brain Longevity Specialists LIVE on Zoom from around the world who will be in community for this exciting event that you won’t want to miss, so register today!
