If curious about ways to reduce the risk of dementia, come to the Minot Public Library on Wednesday, July 16, at 2 p.m. for a presentation on “Retain Your Brain.”

The library has announced it will be hosting Nick Schmidt as he presents practical lifestyle choices that can help folks of any age stay sharp. The presentation will last about 30 minutes with time for questions and answers afterwards.

Dementia is not a disease so much as it is a collection of symptoms that can impact memory, behavior and mood. According to Mayo Clinic, dementia can be caused by a number of diseases, and the risk of developing it increases with age. Typically, dementia is associated with those 65 and up, but people can be impacted by it at any age.
