The earlier actions we take, the slower the decline can be.

This article discusses how our cognitive abilities, like thinking, learning, memory, and attention, can weaken as we age. I offer seven practical steps to keep the brain and mind healthy. When I talk about cognitive decline, I mean that the brain and nervous system don’t work as well as they used to.

Cognitive decline isn’t just something that happens when we get older. Even younger people can have it because of factors like brain injuries or problems with how our bodies handle sugar, toxins, or infections. Cognitive decline can make it hard for people to do regular things they used to do easily.

People with cognitive decline might forget to do everyday things like cooking, cleaning, walking, talking, bathing, or caring for themselves. They can't think straight and cannot enjoy life like others. Their trouble with these things depends on their cognitive decline and impairment levels.
