Small adjustments in daily habits can make significant differences to brain health. Maintaining exercise, controlling sitting time and improving sleep quality are practical ways to help protect cognitive function as age increases.
First of all, you should aim for moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week. Activities such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming or taking exercise classes can all bring clear benefits to the brain and overall health.
In addition, it is necessary to limit sitting for too long. You should stand up, stretch your shoulders, or walk for a few minutes each hour if you are working in an office.
Quality sleep also plays an important role. You should maintain regular sleep and wake-up hours, build a relaxing habit before bed and ensure you sleep enough 7-8 hours each night. At the same time, avoid taking too long naps so as not to affect nighttime sleep.
Finally, create an ideal sleeping environment by limiting the use of electronic devices before bed, reducing light and noise, keeping the bedroom cool and comfortable.
