We are all aging; it’s just a natural part of life. However, certain lifestyle choices can enable us to age better and set ourselves up for a life with a lower chance of chronic disease, especially brain health issues. With Alzheimer’s and dementia growing at unprecedented rates, there’s never been a better time to look at how our diet, sleep regime, stress management, gut health, and more affect our brain.
