New Delhi, Sep 22: While most people in their younger years focus on protecting the heart, bones, and skin, health experts caution that brain health is often ignored until much later in life — usually when signs of memory lapses or cognitive decline emerge.

Recent research has made it clear that this is a mistake. Doctors underline that brain health does not begin in the 60s or 70s, but much earlier. By the time individuals enter their 30s, everyday lifestyle choices start playing a decisive role in keeping the brain sharp or, conversely, contributing to long-term memory issues.

Medical professionals point out that habits such as regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, stress control, and engaging in mentally stimulating activities can go a long way in maintaining brain resilience.

They add that building these habits early in life is not just a preventive measure but also an investment in long-term mental agility and protection against cognitive decline.
