Routines to maintain mental vitality and activity
Maintaining cognitive health, improving memory, and lowering the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia or Alzheimer's require routines that keep the brain alive and active.
This is because, like any other organ in the human body, the brain needs care and attention to stay sharp and efficient. Experts advise making particular lifestyle decisions that can greatly increase mental acuity, enhance mental flexibility, and support long-term brain health in order to guarantee this.
Dr. Vikram Huded, HOD, Director, and Clinical Lead of Interventional Neurology at Narayana Group, suggests the following five essential daily routines to maintain brain health, particularly in your 40s and 50s:
-First, for increased blood flow and brain plasticity, regularly partake in aerobic activity.
-Secondly, give adequate sleep a priority to aid in cognitive recuperation.
-Third, challenge your intellect with mentally taxing pursuits like solving puzzles or picking up new abilities.
-Fourth, to support brain health, keep a balanced diet high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.
-Finally, to lower stress and improve mental clarity, engage in mindfulness or meditation. Daily implementation of these practices can prevent age-related deterioration and markedly increase cognitive resilience. Your brain's vitality over the long term can be profoundly affected by even minor, continuous alterations.
