Natural Ways to Support Brain Health Without Excess Vitamins
Instead of relying on high-dose pills, seniors can protect brain and vascular health through proven lifestyle practices.
Diet for Brain Protection
- Eat leafy greens, berries, nuts, and fatty fish—foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3s.
- Include whole grains and legumes to stabilize blood pressure and blood sugar.
Regular Exercise
- Aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate activity like walking, swimming, or chair yoga.
- Even 20–30 minutes daily improves circulation and lowers stroke risk.
Stress Management
- Practice daily deep breathing or mindfulness for 10 minutes.
- Engage in calming hobbies like gardening or painting.
