How do you look after your brain?
S
tudies show that more than 90% of us say that brain health is very important and that we feel that keeping our brain healthy is important to be able to enjoy everyday life – and maintain independence and a good memory as we get older. On average, most people think that we should be making plans for our future brain health in our mid-thirties. Brain research also shows that lifestyles that prioritise physical health and mental wellbeing can have a significant impact on brain health and cognitive function (how fast you think, how well you make decisions and how well you remember things etc.). In particular, several key factors are known to promote good brain health; regular physical exercise, a healthy well-balanced diet, effective stress management, good sleep, being social, being mentally stimulated and avoiding drugs, smoking and alcohol. International Brain Awareness Week (BAW), starting 12 March this year, is a global campaign to increase public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research like this.
The Perth Brain Centre is an official partner of International Brain Awareness Week, which is the perfect time to reflect on your lifestyle and take steps to optimise your future brain health. Accurately measuring cognitive function can be a first step to improving your brain health and The Perth Brain Centre provides the latest in cognitive testing for people of all ages. Cutting-edge technology – developed by the leading global provider of computerised cognitive assessments and validated by over 30 years of research – allows them to accurately test cognitive function. The results of this testing are available immediately in a personalised, easy to understand report. Are you doing everything you can to look after your brain for today, tomorrow and the years ahead? The Perth Brain Centre has been helping West Australians for over 10 years.

Loved by kids and tested by ‘fussy mums’
T
he Western Australian milk that families have grown up with for over a century has a fresh new look and the same great taste. Every week, hundreds of thousands of WA families choose Brownes Dairy milk as their milk of choice – and every week, hundreds of mums are involved at every stage of the farm to fridge process. From milking, production and quality control to product testing, the mums of Brownes Dairy are making sure the 135 million litres of milk produced every year meet their high standards. Alexander Heights foster mum, Michelle Ranieri, is one of these product testers – or as she calls herself, a ‘Brownes Dairy Fussy Mum’.
Brownes Dairy milk – a staple for most families – meets the needs of their kids.’ Another Brownes Dairy Fussy Mum, Nicole Ohm, says it’s this attention to detail that guarantees the quality of Brownes Dairy milk remains at its best. ‘Since 1886, more than 9,000 Brownes Dairy mums have made it possible for WA families to taste the love and care that goes into our milk,’ Nicole said. ‘When it comes to milk, we’ve got your back’.
‘For me it’s all about making your children’s wellbeing a priority. About knowing what’s best for the kids you care for and making decisions that are in their best interest,’ Michelle said.
Keep an eye out for Brownes Dairy’s new-look packaging at a supermarkets and convenience stores near you. They have milk to suit almost every need, every fussy eater and every ‘fussy mum’.
