Several vitamins and supplements can help support brain health and memory. Options may include:
Hormone imbalance is often associated with issues including mental fog, difficulty concentrating, or poor mood. This is especially true for patients who face hormonal imbalance due to the aging process. In addition, other symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as poor sleep quality, may contribute to declining brain health or memory. Balancing the hormones through hormone replacement therapy may alleviate these symptoms or help support healthy brain function and memory. Hormone therapy options include:
Following a healthy diet and lifestyle can help optimize and preserve your memory and brain health. Recommendations will vary for each patient, and can be provided by our experts after an individualized consultation.
Maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet is important to overall brain health. Often, a Mediterranean diet is recommended to help patients preserve their memory and optimize brain health. The Mediterranean diet is focused on plant-based foods, whole grains, fish, and healthy fats. This diet has been shown to decrease the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease and includes brain-healthy nutrients such as omega fatty acids. Mediterranean diets include reduced red meat and salt than the standard American diet, making it a healthier choice for increasing focus and slowing cognitive decline while also reducing risk of other health concerns like coronary artery disease.
Sleep is important to brain health, allowing the brain to consolidate memories and clear abnormal proteins as it rests. Most adults require seven to eight hours of sleep per night.
Exercise has many benefits for overall health, and this includes brain health. Physical activity has been shown to lower risk of mental decline and Alzheimer’s disease. It is believed that exercise stimulates increased blood flow to the brain. Adults should exercise for 30-60 minutes several times per week.
In addition to physical exercise, mental exercise is key to maintaining focus and memory. This can include learning new skills, formal education, or games and puzzles. Some popular options include card games, crossword puzzles, reading, or creative hobbies such as painting or woodworking. Staying socially engaged through activities such as volunteering or spending time with friends and family will also help maintain brain health.
Stress can be dangerous to your overall brain health. It is important to find ways to manage stress. Options can include meditation, journaling, or physical exercise.
