One good habit is not enough
Perhaps the best advice for brain health is that you can’t latch onto one thing and expect it to protect you from cognitive decline. Research from Finland suggests that a comprehensive program giving patients guidance on everything from diet and exercise to brain training and the management of metabolic risk factors could better prevent cognitive decline. Compared to people in the control group (who lived life as they normally would), the intervention group scored 83 percent higher on tests of critical thinking, and they could problem solve 150 percent faster. Doing this one simple thing will make your brain start craving better habits.
