As well as the exercises that can keep your brain healthy, there are harmful activities that can compromise your cognitive health. For example:
Smoking –.this accelerates ageing of the brain.
Obesity is linked to reduced cognitive function.
High blood pressure and diabetes – this is shown to negatively impact cognitive health.
Looking after your brain health can start at any age, and appears to be as much to do with the cumulative effect of lifestyle choices as it is to do with genetics. Even later in life, the choices you can make will have lasting impact on good cognitive health.
