The Hidden Lifestyle Traps
Most people think Alzheimer’s is only about genetics, but daily habits can silently increase risk. By age 40+, your lifestyle choices matter more than ever. Tip: Start small—add a 20-minute walk to your day to improve brain circulation.
A sedentary lifestyle reduces blood flow to the brain, slowing oxygen and nutrient delivery. Over time, this can accelerate cognitive decline. Tip: Try short bursts of activity if long workouts feel impossible—take the stairs or walk around the block.
Sleep is another underestimated factor. Inadequate rest prevents the brain from clearing harmful proteins that can damage neurons. Tip: Establish a regular sleep routine and avoid screens an hour before bed. To uncover three more habits that may be secretly harming your brain, see next page.
