Over the last few decades, research has shown that we can improve our brain health through living a positive lifestyle. Getting mental stimulation is one of the key factors. According to scientists, brain activity stimulates new connections between brain cells and helps build a “useful reserve” against future brain cell loss — a phenomenon known as plasticity. While it is normal to experience some functional cognitive loss as we age, building a reserve can mitigate the impact. Other key lifestyle factors include: good sleep hygiene, physical exercise, minimizing or reducing stress levels, learning something new, and building strong social networks. Look for healthy life style changes that are also meaningful and could foster a sense of purpose in life. What are you curious about? Living a curious, purposeful life contributes greatly to a healthy brain. Remember, we can always improve our lifestyle choices, which can positively impact our brain health and change our life for the better. Stop by the Age Well Centers to improve your brain health by taking an exercise class, learning something new and making new friends today!
