flag Healthy habits may make brains function up to 8 years younger, regardless of chronic pain, a new study finds.

flag A new study finds that five healthy habits—good sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding tobacco, managing stress, and staying socially connected—may keep the brain functionally up to eight years younger than a person’s actual age, even among those with chronic pain. flag Researchers tracked over 100 adults aged 45 to 85 for two years and found that those with higher "protective scores" based on these behaviors had significantly younger brain ages. flag The results suggest lifestyle choices matter more than pain severity in brain aging, highlighting these habits as key targets for supporting cognitive health in middle and older age.
