According to a 2011 study by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3258000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mayo Clinic<\/a> and a 2010 study published in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2805706\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nature Reviews Neuroscience Journal<\/a>, engaging in aerobic exercise regularly and eating a healthy diet are the two most important activities to maintain and improve brain health. According to the survey, Hispanics are more likely to be very interested in learning how these two activities are related to the brain than the general population. To help empower Hispanics to maintain and improve their cognitive health, AARP has launched the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aarp.org\/gcbh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><b>Global Council on Brain Health<\/b><\/a> (GCBH)\u2014an independent collaborative of scientists, doctors, scholars and policy experts. This collaborative will provide trusted information on what actions people can take to support their brain health through quarterly white papers, scientific reviews and other research.<\/p>\n<p>Logo &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20070209\/NYF043LOGO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20070209\/NYF043LOGO<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the survey, we see that Hispanics prefer to turn to family or friends for advice on brain health. However, a trusted source can help make sense of all the information on how to keep a healthy brain,&#8221; said AARP Vice President <span class=\"xn-person\">Monica Cortes-Torres<\/span>. &#8220;The Global Council on Brain Health is a fantastic source of information on this issue and we are thrilled to be working with them in helping to encourage the Hispanic community to live brain-healthy lifestyles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The GCBH is an independent collaborative convened by AARP working together\u00a0with Age UK\u2014the <span class=\"xn-location\">United Kingdom&#8217;s<\/span> largest charity dedicated to helping everyone make the most of later life\u2014that will address a critical social issue and help people live their best lives. The collaborative will build on the Institute of Medicine&#8217;s Cognitive Aging report from <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 2015<\/span>, which provided a basis for understanding the aging brain and described opportunities for actions. \u00a0Members are eminent experts from leading research institutions working in the fields of neuroscience and geriatrics who will address the full range of factors that can impact brain health and examine key priority issue areas\u2014such as physical exercise, mental engagement, stress levels, and medications and supplements.<\/p>\n<p>Current GCBH members include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><span class=\"xn-person\">Marilyn Albert<\/span>, Ph.D., Professor of Neurology; Director, Division of Cognitive Neuroscience, <span class=\"xn-org\">Johns Hopkins<\/span> <\/li>\n<li><span class=\"xn-person\">Kaarin Anstey<\/span>, Ph.D., Director, Centre for Research on Ageing, Health and Wellbeing, <span class=\"xn-org\">Australian National University<\/span> College of Medicine, Biology and Environment <\/li>\n<li><span class=\"xn-person\">Linda Clare<\/span>, Ph.D. Sc.D., Professor of Clinical Psychology of Ageing and Dementia; Leader of Centre for Research in Ageing and Cognitive Health (REACH); University of <span class=\"xn-location\">Exeter<\/span> <\/li>\n<li><span class=\"xn-person\">Peggye Dilworth-Anderson<\/span>, Ph.D., Professor of Health Policy and Management, Gillings School of Global Public Health, <span class=\"xn-org\">University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill<\/span> <\/li>\n<li><span class=\"xn-person\">S.
