7 Easy Steps to Help Keep Your Heart (and Brain!) Healthy

7 Easy Steps to Help Keep Your Heart (and Brain!) Healthy

7 Easy Steps to Help Keep Your Heart (and Brain!) Healthy

You probably know that taking certain healthy measures can keep your ticker in tip top shape, but according to a new advisory from the American Heart Association (AHA), the very same steps that protect your heart may also foster optimal brain function.

Because your brain and your heart both rely on a healthy flow of blood, your vessels need to be clear and healthy. But with age, your vessels can become narrow or blocked— a condition known as atherosclerosis that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. The good news: modifying a short list of lifestyle factors that the AHA dubs “Life’s Simple 7” can significantly cut your risk for atherosclerosis, helping stave off not only major cardiovascular events, but reduces the risk of the cognitive decline that’s seen in dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, too.

“For a long time, we’ve made the association, and we now have pretty strong epidemiologic evidence that the same simple seven factors play into cognition,” says vascular neurologist Philip Gorelick, M.D., M.P.H., the chair of the advisory’s writing group and executive medical director of Mercy Health Hauenstein Neurosciences. “It’s turned on its head the concept that Alzheimer’s is just a neurodegenerative disease; it seems to be far more complex. I’ve spent 25 years talking about this, and here we are—it’s finally happening.”

The 7 Simple Steps You Can Take Now

The reason these seven simple steps can have such a major impact on your cognitive health is because problems like elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol can damage your blood vessels and reduce the amount of blood that flows to your brain. Without enough blood flow, your brain can begin to have trouble performing basic functions like communicating, making decisions, learning, and remembering.

Over the years, Gorelick and his team have been able to identify that the same seven steps that can lower the risk of stroke can also help prevent Alzheimer’s and possibly some other neurodegenerative disorders. By pulling data from multiple studies, the researchers were able to create a list of seven action items that can be measured, modified, and monitored so doctors can keep an eye on progress and help patients reach their goals.

“One of the messages I give in my office when I see patients or speak to groups is, ‘we have good news for you!’” Gorelick says. “‘Not only can we help prevent heart attacks and strokes by following a healthy behavioral program, but we may also be able to slow or prevent cognitive impairment as we age.’”

Here are the seven things you can take control of today:

  1. Manage your blood pressure.
  2. Control your cholesterol.
  3. Keep your blood sugar in a normal range.
  4. Incorporate exercise.
  5. Eat a healthy diet.
  6. Lose extra weight.
  7. Quit (or don’t start!) smoking.

It’s Never Too Late (Or Too Early!) to Improve Brain Health

While you may think of cognitive decline as something you shouldn’t worry about until the far off future, Gorelick says true prevention means getting an early start. “This is going to be a lifelong continuum, but right now, we have solid epidemiologic data that midlife is when the switch may begin to flip in the wrong direction toward cognitive impairment and we should intensify our efforts,” he says. “I believe midlife is a great place to start, but also pushing the curve even further along into childhood and even in-utero because factors there probably set the stage for problems in midlife, which set the stage for later problems in the golden years.”

And if you haven’t been abiding by the heart and brain-protecting steps listed in LIfe’s Simple 7, don’t worry—according to Gorelick, the evidence is clear that making positive changes at any point in time can make a big difference. Take fitness for example: “A lot of the literature on physical activity shows that if you exercised when you were youthful, that seems to give protection later in life,” he says. “That observation is something for people to grasp onto and say, ‘it’s not too late to start exercising now.’”

Disneyland Adventures Q&A

Disneyland Adventures Q&A

Disneyland Adventures is available now for the Xbox One family of devices and Windows 10 PC on Microsoft Store.

We recently had the opportunity to have an in-depth chat with Jorg Neumann, Head of Production, Global Publishing, Microsoft Studios to talk in greater detail about the re-imagining of this game.

Disneyland Adventures Q&A

What is Disneyland Adventures and what makes it different from the 2011 Xbox 360 title?

Disneyland Adventures is a remastered and re-imagined version of the 2011 Xbox 360 title that allows children, families, and Disney fans of all ages to explore Disneyland Park. In anticipation for the Xbox One X launch, we really wanted to make this franchise shine and bring the magical world of Disneyland Park to life like never before, so we gave it an upgrade to true 4K Ultra HD visuals and HDR support, and made it available to play on both console and Windows 10 PC.

Now anyone can enjoy the game on controller, mouse and keyboard, and Kinect. And additionally, through the power of Xbox Play Anywhere you can pick up where you left off on another Xbox One device or Windows 10 PC, bringing all your saves, game add-ons and achievements with you.

Disneyland Adventures Q&A

Tell us about how you collaborated with Disney on Disneyland Adventures.

There had never been a game specifically about Disneyland Park when this was developed, but the team had a strong plan that we felt confident in and pitched Disney on how we could achieve this. They really loved the idea and we’ve had a strong collaboration with them ever since.

Even though they loved the pitch, Disney challenged me on how much I actually knew about Disneyland Park. I responded with, “Yeah of course I love Disney, I have two daughters and we’ve watched all the movies together and I’ve been to Disneyland Park several times.” But they asked again, “how much time have you spent in the park?” I was certainly no expert and told them such, so they invited me and the whole team to the park and gave us full access to the park.

The team and I spent about five months exploring and examining the park, took about 50,000 photographs, went to all the special places like Walt’s Apartment and Club 33, and collaborated with the legendary Disney Imagineers.

Disneyland Adventures Q&A

Does the game have the entire park in it or just parts of it?

It’s the entire Disneyland Park. We really wanted to pay homage to the magic that is Disneyland, so we made sure Disneyland Adventures is a digital version of the entire park. The hard work the team did in collaboration with Disney resulted in a very accurate depiction of the park in digital form – so much so that Disney sometimes uses the game as a training tool to help them really know the ins and outs of the park. If you know where to find your favorite attraction or coffee shop in the park, you’ll find it in the exact same place in the game.

Disneyland Adventures Q&A

How would you describe the gameplay of Disneyland Adventures?

Disneyland Adventures allows children, families and Disney fans of all ages to step into Disneyland park to explore the worlds of their favorite attractions, engage in challenging adventures and interact with many beloved Disney characters.

Think about it essentially as an open-world game filled with Disney content – we have 43 Disney character encounters where you can give characters such as Donald or Snow White a hug, get their autograph and photograph, and receive a quest. We have over 100 quests that allow you to go around the park and solve problems in return for magical items. For example, Red Beard may ask you to photograph all the items on his list.

Other things we have that are a nod to the fun and magic of Disneyland park are the hidden Mickeys – which are an obsession for many people. We include many of the hidden Mickeys that are in the real park, plus a few newer ones as well.

And finally, we have the attractions in Disneyland Adventures. In the world of Disney, attractions are not just rides that you sit in and that’s it. When we were working with the Disney Imagineers on this game, the one thing that was clear is that every ride is a story and an adventure where there are Yetis, pirates, ghosts or runaway trains. So, for this game we actually take you to the world of the attraction with a unique adventure and story to tell – for example, you’re not just sitting in a vehicle flying through London in the world of Peter Pan, YOU, yourself, actually fly through London collecting coins as you make your way to Neverland, where you ultimately battle Captain Hook and his crew.

Disneyland Adventures features 18 iconic, interactive Disneyland Park attractions – you can fly through Neverland at Peter Pan’s side and take up your sword to fight Captain Hook, battle your way to the island in Pirates of the Caribbean, partner with a friend to enjoy the fascinating world of Alice in Wonderland and many more of the wonderful worlds of Disney. What I love best about this is that it’s a co-op game, so parents can play together with their kids.

Disneyland Adventures Q&A

Is there anything else you’d like to mention?

I love that we can bring the magic of Disneyland to the living rooms of families everywhere in a fun, innovative way and I’m excited to give this to gaming and Disney fans of all ages. You can purchase the game now for $29.99 USD and pick it up at any major retailer, on Xbox.com, in the Xbox Store or Microsoft Store.
