Outreach American Red Cross Retiree Association Brain Longevity Specialist, Cheryl Kravitz wrote a wonderful article for the American Red Cross Retiree Association, titled, There are ways we can prevent Alzheimer’s. The key is to start. She wrote, "Recent research confirms what we have known for some time now; a wave of the wand is not the answer in fighting Alzheimer’s. Currently, the only effective way to prevent Alzheimer’s, or even slow its progression, is by harnessing the power of an integrative medical approach." Education The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ARPF was delighted to teach OSHA employees the Kirtan Kriya (KK) meditation. There will always be stress in our lives – learning how to cope with it makes all the difference. That's why Stress Management is one of the 4 Pillars of Prevention® and a big part of a healthy work environment. Kirtan Kriya is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress known to science! We are grateful that OSHA was so receptive to learning this meditation and sharing it with its employees. To learn more about KK and stress management, click here.
