In celebration of World Alzheimer’s Day, Afternoon Express brings awareness to the importance of brain health and reconnection.

On social media, we’re asking: How do you stay mentally sharp and engaged in your daily life?

Sr Madelein Duvenhage, Regional Manager at ADASA, guides us through an in-depth conversation about Alzheimer’s disease. She explains the early signs to watch for, how it progresses, and the steps we can take to reduce the risk of developing it.

Art can stimulate memory, improve mood, and foster social connections. Palesa catches up with an inspiring artist as part of Absa’s commitment to spotlighting creativity and wellness.

Professional MMA and Muay Thai Fighter, Don Madge speaks about how mental resilience and physical strength have guided him through injury and setbacks. He shares his journey from being a Muay Thai champion in Thailand at just 15 years old to becoming a two-time EFC World Lightweight Champion.

Sr Madelein Duvenhage returns to highlight the importance of nutrition for those living with Alzheimer’s and those looking to prevent it. We discuss brain-boosting foods like blueberries, leafy greens, and nuts, which are known to support cognitive health.

Chef Jay shares his simple yet delicious recipe for Brain-Boosting Blueberry Muffins. Using Clover’s Nolac lactose-free milk, these muffins are perfect for those looking for a wholesome, brain-healthy treat.

Finally, we take a colourful turn with Ayanda, who attended the launch of the Neuklad Campaign by Prominent Paints. Discover how a fresh coat of paint can revitalize your living space and boost your mental clarity.
