flag Healthy habits can slow brain aging by up to eight years, study finds.

flag A University of Florida study finds that healthy habits like maintaining a healthy weight, quality sleep, stress management, avoiding tobacco, and strong social support can slow brain aging by up to eight years. flag Analyzing MRI scans of 128 adults over two years, researchers used machine learning to show that these lifestyle factors, even among those with chronic pain, low income, or limited education, are linked to younger-looking brains. flag The findings, published in Brain Communications, suggest that such behaviors collectively offer neurobiological protection, reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, and reinforce that lifestyle choices act as a form of medicine for the brain.
