What is iCON?

The interCultural Online health Network (iCON) assists multicultural and FirstNations communities, patients and caregivers across BC in optimal chronic

disease prevention and management. iCON promotes communication and

partnership between community members and health professionals through

knowledge exchange and social support through the use of information and

communication technology (ICT).

iCONs goals are to increase access to culturally relevant health information on

the Internet.

Since 2007, iCON has delivered eleven health forums for BCs Chinese- and

Punjabi-speaking communities that have focused on prevention and management

of the following chronic diseases: diabetes, cardiovascular health, dementia,

mental wellness and liver diseases. As of 2010, iCON has begun its exploration of

chronic disease self-management in First Nations communities across the

province.

Tips to Better

Mental Health and WellnessPresented by Jay Bains

With an extended life span, mental stimulation is an absolute necessity to keep the

brain sharp and generate new brain cells by creating new connections between

existing nerve cells.

Here are a few non-medical tips to help manage your mental health and

wellness:

(1) Eat wisely: eat brain-friendly foods such as asparagus, brussels sprouts,oranges, whole grain breads, cereals, nuts and black eyed peas.

(2) Keep your calories down: cut out trans fats and boost your intake ofgrains and fresh leafy greens which are rich in B Vitamins to keep your

brain flexible and sharp.

(3) Drink plenty of fluids: avoid alcohol and tobacco use as they have beenlinked to dementia.

(4) Avoid drinking excessively sweetened drinks: one soft drink a day canadd 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) to your weight in a year.

(5) Get enough rest: take a 6-minute power nap daily to improve yourmemory.

(6) Exercise moderately on a regular basis: improve motor coordinationand manual dexterity to maintain a well functioning brain.

(7) Try meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques: use helpfulstrategies to find peace, comfort and improve concentration and focus.

(8) Be an active participant in your community: socializing improves yourmemory, enhances your self esteem and releases endorphins to uplift

your mood.

(9) Keep a sense of humour and stay active: activity enhances your brainhealth by lowering your blood pressure and increasing the oxygen inyour bloodstream.

(10) Make a mental grocery list: memorize items to help keep your memorysharp.

(11) Finally, be happy, active and safe: do something meaningful that youenjoy.

*Note: These tips are adapted from Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions for OngoingPhysical and Mental Health Conditionswritten by Kate Lorig, David Sobel, and Virginia Gonzalez.
