March is 🧠
An opportunity to highlight the importance of brain health and cognitive function.
Brain health is influenced by several modifiable factors, including mental health, cardiovascular health, sleep, medication management, and access to appropriate care.
Research shows that addressing these factors early can help reduce risk and support cognitive function over time. For example:
• Engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week is associated with an approximately 30% reduction in the risk of cognitive decline or dementia.
• Strong adherence to the MIND diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish) is associated with a reduction of up to 53% in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
• Certain newer treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, when used in the early stages, have demonstrated a measurable slowing of cognitive decline.
Awareness matters because brain health is not only about aging, it’s about prevention, early understanding, and informed choices throughout life.
