While some risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease, such as age and genetics, are beyond our control, certain lifestyle choices can promote brain health:
- Regular Physical Activity: Engaging in consistent exercise to improve blood flow to the brain.
- Balanced Diet: Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
- Mental Stimulation: Challenging the brain with puzzles, reading, or learning new skills.
- Social Engagement: Maintaining strong social connections to support emotional well-being.
- Quality Sleep: Ensuring adequate rest to help clear brain toxins.
- Stress Management: Practicing relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing.
Incorporating these habits into daily life can contribute to overall cognitive resilience.
