To maintain brain health, it is important to adjust one's lifestyle as a whole, stated endocrinologist Z. Pavlova.
First of all, it is important to go to bed at approximately the same time and to get at least 7–9 hours of sleep. According to the doctor, quality sleep helps reduce cortisol levels in the morning, which positively affects memory.
Equally important is the diet. According to research, a diet rich in antioxidants reduces anxiety and improves the functioning of the nervous system. The menu should include tomatoes, pumpkin, watermelons, mandarins, and other fruits of orange-red hues, the doctor noted.
In addition, regular physical activity and monitoring the waist-to-hip ratio are necessary. Studies show that the lower this ratio, the lower the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, which are directly related to age-related dementia.
