Neurological decline, dementia, Alzheimer’s – are all appearing, and impacing, earlier and earlier in life and the risk factors are also accumulating earlier adn earlier. These conditions are all now considered a global epedemic.

It is absolutely vital to protect brain health, cognitive ability and brain longevity.

Here are some of the leading factors that are shown to be detrimental to brain health and healthy brain longevity, including:

1. Here are some of the leading factors that are shown to be detrimental to brain health and healthy brain longevity, including:
2. Ageing itself: As we age, changes occur in the brain that detrimentally affect and impact brain function, including neurological communication and brain structure.
3. Chronic stress: Prolonged exposure to stress, and the consequent release of stress-related hormones, such as cortisol, in elevated and sustained levels, can be a significant factor in damaging the brain and impairing cognitive function.
4. Poor diet: A diet high in saturated fats, processed foods and added sugars will generally contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. Inflammation is a key factor in overall premature ageing.
5. Lack of exercise/activity: Regular physical activity has been shown to significantly improve brain function and protect against cognitive decline.
6. Alcohol consumption: Heavy alcohol consumption  damages brain cells and impairs cognitive function in the short, and long term.
7. Smoking: Smoking has been proven to be linked to cognitive decline – and increased risk of dementia.
8. Sleep deprivation: Chronic sleep deprivation, or lack of consistent, good quantity (and quality of sleep) can impair cognitive function (short term and long term) and contribute to the development of neurological disorders.
9. Chronic and age-related diseases: Conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, can increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
10. Environmental toxins: Exposure to environmental toxins, such as air pollution and heavy metals, are shown to have wide-ranging detrimental impact, including damage to brain cells and impairment of cognitive function.
