'음식과 뇌의 관계'를 주제로 뇌 건강에 도움이 되는 식습관을 배우고, 식후 10분 운동의 중요성을 함께 실천했습니다. 또한 참가자들은 각자의 건강 비결이 담긴 나만의 건강 레시피를 소개하고, 건강식품 빙고 게임을 통해 즐겁게 배우며 웃음이 가득한 시간을 보냈습니다. 이날의 특별 건강 간식으로는 치아씨드를 곁들인 그릭요거트를 함께 나누며, 뇌 건강에 좋은 영양소를 맛있게 즐기는 시간도 가졌습니다. 수업을 마무리하며 오늘도 서로의 감사를 나누는 시간을 통해 마음까지 따뜻해지는 소중한 순간을 함께했습니다. 브레인 카페와 함께 건강한 뇌와 행복한 일상을 만들어 보세요! 브레인 카페 참여를 원하시는 분은 언제든지 Queens YWCA로 문의해 주세요. 함께하실 여러분을 기다립니다! 💛 #브레인카페 #뇌를깨우는브레인카페 #음식과뇌건강 #그릭요거트 #치아씨드 #건강한식습관 #시니어프로그램 #감사 #QueensYWCA

2026년 8월 5일, 「영화 속의 클래식 산책」이 첫 수업을 시작합니. 익숙한 영화 속 명장면과 함께 아름다운 클래식 음악을 만나는 특별한 시간! 영화에 담긴 클래식 음악의 이야기와 작곡가, 그리고 음악이 전하는 감동을 쉽고 재미있게 배우며, 함께 듣고 나누는 시간을 가졌습니다. 앞으로 8주 동안 이어질 음악 여행을 통해 클래식을 더욱 가깝게 만나고, 영화를 새로운 시각으로 감상하는 즐거움을 함께 나누겠습니다. 많은 관심과 응원 부탁드립니다! #영화속의클래식산책 #늘푸른학교 #YWCAofQueens #평생학습아카데미 #시니어프로그램 #클래식음악 #영화음악 Starting on August 5, 2026, Classic in the Movies invites participants on a unique journey through the world of classical music and cinema.

Today at Brain Café, we enjoyed fun finger exercises to stimulate our minds and hands, followed by a meaningful activity called “Flowers and My Story.” Participants shared stories about themselves and decorated the initials of their names with beautiful flowers, creating unique and personal artworks. Today was also Wear Red Day! Dressed in red, we learned about healthy eating habits while enjoying a variety of red fruits and vegetables, discovering how colorful foods can support our health and well-being. It was a wonderful time of creativity, learning, connection, and self-expression. Every name tells a story, every flower holds a memory, and every healthy choice helps us bloom. ✨ #WearRedDay #HealthyEating #BrainHealth #HealthyAging
