2) Keep Your Brain Active
Engaging in mentally stimulating
activities may help keep the brain fit
and potentially stave off dementia or
other types of cognitive decline. For
example, people who have cognitive-
ly demanding jobs (like accountants
or math teachers) or who engage in
cognitively stimulating activities
(like learning a second language or
how to play a musical instrument)
may be at lower risk for developing
cognitive decline and dementia, ac-
cording to Harvard Medical School.
Activities like these and more can
also decrease feelings of depression,
isolation and loneliness, which occur
more frequently as people age and are
also associated with an increased risk
for developing dementia, according
to the National Institute on Aging.

ry and other thinking skill performance over time. Detecting
changes in memory is critical to slowing the progression of
Alzheimer’s, which can begin 15-20 years before the onset of

may raise red flags are often noticed by other people, not by
the individual experiencing the changes, making it important
for older adults who live alone or who do not have large social
circles to track their own brain health. “For I Know The Plans
