Dr Hilary lists the early symptoms of dementia<\/h3>\n

Remaining youthful later in life does, of course, depend somewhat on our physical health.<\/p>\n

Avoiding complications and conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes, for example, could help you look and feel younger.<\/p>\n

Maintaining a regular exercise routine and sticking to a healthy diet are also key for this.<\/p>\n

However, in recent years many of us have also become aware of the importance of keeping your mind active.<\/p>\n

Good cognitive health can lower our risk of conditions such as dementia as well as making everyday life easier in our old age.<\/p>\n

Luckily there are steps we can take to help preserve our brain health.<\/p>\n

Dr Jennifer Newson PhD, neuroscience consultant working in partnership with language learning platform Preply, explained: \u201cThe health of your brain influences everything about how you think, feel and act.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough everyone is different and has their own starting point for further improving their brain health, there are some general factors that are known to be important.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese include eating a healthy diet that contains whole foods and avoiding junk\/ultra-processed foods and drinks; regularly exercising; getting a good night’s sleep; being curious and learning new knowledge and skills; and social engagement and building close relationships with family, friends and community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside Preply she shared a daily seven-step routine aimed at promoting optimal cognitive health.<\/p>\n
