Small Habits, Stronger Mind: 50 Ways to Lower Your Risk of Dementia

As we move through our 60s, 70s, and beyond, many of us carry a quiet worry in the back of our minds: What if I start forgetting things? What if it’s more than just “senior moments”? Dementia is a word we’re all familiar with—and for good reason. It’s a real concern for our age group, one that can feel a little too close to home.

The good news? There's growing research that shows the choices we make every day—how we eat, move, think, sleep, and connect—can play a powerful role in protecting our brain health. These everyday habits aren’t complicated or overwhelming. In fact, most are simple shifts that can add up to something meaningful. Think of them as quiet, daily acts of prevention—gentle ways to care for the mind you rely on, and the memories you treasure.
