Lifestyle Modifications in Four Areas Can Boost Brain Health, Major US Study Reveals

A recent large-scale US study highlights that strategic lifestyle changes across exercise, nutrition, cognitive activities, and social engagement can significantly enhance brain health and delay cognitive decline. The two-year trial involving over 2,000 older adults demonstrated that a structured, team-supported program outperforms self-guided efforts in improving cognitive scores, without using medications. The program’s multi-component approach, including physical activity, diet, mental stimulation, and health coaching, shows promising potential for dementia prevention. Experts emphasize that a team-based, personalized lifestyle intervention is essential for effective cognitive health maintenance, especially in community or home settings. This research aligns with previous studies and underscores the importance of comprehensive, non-pharmaceutical strategies in Alzheimer’s risk reduction efforts.
