Want Better Cognition Later in Life?
New study says live a healthy lifestyle!
A new study from JAMA Neurology underlines what we and the Ageless Mind Project have long promoted. Our mission is to provide current information to increase our awareness of what we each can do for our own wellbeing and then explore the many different choices we can make, based on our own personalities and abilities, to apply what we have learned. It's all in the practice, right?

Another great set of data supporting with a strong p-value (<.01) healthy living to late age cognitive ability. Because they had post-mortem brain samples, they were able to focus on non-amyloid plaque buildup individuals which can otherwise complicate a "regular" aging cohort. Diet and exercise remain the best lifestyle practices for aging healthy. Scientists are still working on the details on exactly how those maintain a healthy brain, but from an individual point of view, those details are unnecessary. The one factor I don't see included in here is sleep. Other studies have indicated that is really important for brain health, but with retrospective data I imagine it could be messy. Anyway, one thing I would suggest would be to keep a food and exercise and sleep journal. Thanks, Lynne.
