Cognitive health means the ability to think, learn and remember and is an important component of brain health. Age-related changes, mood disorders such as depression, injuries such as stroke or addiction can affect brain health.
As you get older, physiological changes occur in the brain that causes forgetfulness. For example, you may forget where you put your glasses or car key. If you have normal age-related memory loss, you can do some exercises to strengthen your brain function and develop effective habits in yourself.
In addition to exercising, other changes can help improve brain health:
- Keeping the mind active
- Stress management
- Involvement in social activities
Personally meaningful activities such as reading books, playing games, taking or teaching a class, learning a new skill, and doing volunteer work are considered mentally stimulating. In addition, findings from observational studies indicate that some informal mentally stimulating activities may lessen the risk of Alzheimer’s-related cognitive impairment and dementia.
Involvement in social activities help you feel less isolated and more engaged with the world around you.
Reasons for a decline in cognitive health in adults
Decreased cognitive health in the elderly has different causes; for example, some common causes are:
- Stroke-induced brain damage
- Side effects from taking prescription medications
- Dementia associated with Alzheimer’s
- Drug abuse for a long time
