As a doctor, my patients often ask me, ‘Dr. Neelam, how can I prevent memory loss as I age?’ While we can’t stop time, we can definitely keep our brains active and healthy.
Here are my 3 top tips for 2026:
Keep Moving:
Just 20 minutes of walking daily increases blood flow to the brain. It’s the best ‘brain medicine’ out there!
Stay Social:
Loneliness is tough on the brain. Even a 10-minute phone call with a friend can improve your cognitive health.
Try Something New:
Whether it’s a new puzzle, a new recipe, or reading a new book—challenging your brain creates new neural pathways.
Your brain is a muscle. Use it or lose it!
