From not smoking to maintaining a healthy weight, there are many healthy habits that could help keep your brain young
The article from New Scientist discusses a study that suggests adopting eight specific healthy habits can significantly slow the aging process of the brain. These habits include regular physical activity, a balanced diet, cognitive stimulation, social engagement, not smoking, moderate alcohol consumption, good sleep hygiene, and managing stress effectively. The research, which involved over 29,000 participants, found that individuals who adhered to these lifestyle choices had brain volumes that appeared up to 10 years younger than those who did not follow these habits. This preservation of brain volume is linked to a reduced risk of dementia and better cognitive function in later life. The study underscores the importance of lifestyle choices in maintaining brain health, potentially offering a non-pharmacological approach to combat age-related cognitive decline.
