It is hard to overstate how important it is to make lifestyle changes now to stay vital tomorrow. Taking care of yourself today will keep your brain sharp and keep you independent for your entire life.

Here’s the bad news:

Cognitive decline can start as early as age 24! The pathological changes in your brain associated with Alzheimer’s can begin when you are at your peak. These changes may begin 3 decades before becoming noticeable. The incidence of Alzheimer’s in younger people is increasing at an alarming rate. Some neuroscientists believe the road to Alzheimer’s begins in childhood.

Here’s the good news:

Much of this can be prevented. Making mindful, good decisions regarding diet, exercise, sleep, and other lifestyle choices can actually make your brain younger. The first step is to learn as much as you can about your brain. Learn what you can do to keep your brain healthy. Learn what can hurt your brain. I recently came across the great, interactive tour of your brain and Alzheimer’s at the Alzheimer’s BC website. I encourage you to take this 5-minute tour right now!
