Mental Stimulation Stimulating brain regularly slows down the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Quality Sleep Poor sleep regularly can result in high levels of beta-amyloid. Deep sleep is necessary for memory formation.
Stress Management Stress that is chronic or severe takes a heavy toll on the brain: Leading to shrinkage of the hippocampus Hampering nerve cell growth
