To continue your brain health journey
Brain Health Facts
A mentally active lifestyle (reading widely, visiting museums, or learning a new skill) can greatly benefit your brain health.
Participating in activities and hobbies that put you in a positive mood can help your brain function at its fullest.
Exercising regularly helps reduce cardiovascular risk factors which can lead to better cognitive health.
As you get older you lose some nerve connections but exercising your mind helps to maintain or grow new ones.
Eating a nutritious, balanced diet with high intake of fruits and vegetables, vitamins and healthy fats can help your brain.
Avoid harmful substances. Smoking, excessive alcohol and drug abuse will damage your brain capacity.
Keep a close eye on your medical conditions, e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Ask your GP for a memory screen to check up on your brain, just as you would with any other health issue.
