Small steps like connecting with loved ones or taking a moment to complete a puzzle or write in your journal can go a long way in optimizing your brain health. To remind you of the important role mental health plays in your overall brain health, we’re partnering with the McKnight Brain Research Foundation for the #OptimizeYourBrainSpan challenge. For a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card, share in the comments what step you’ll be taking to protect your brain health and tag the friend you want to join you in the challenge. For 5 additional chances to win, make a video or post a photo of you completing your activity and use the hashtag #OptimizeYourBrainSpan. The challenge will close on June 18 at noon ET and a winner will be chosen randomly and notified by June 23, 2025.
