Move, rest and nourish

Regular physical activity, sufficient sleep and a balanced eating pattern support overall health. Choose routines that are safe and sustainable for you.

Keep learning and connecting

New skills, reading, music, puzzles and meaningful conversation can keep the mind engaged. Variety and genuine interest matter more than chasing a single ‘brain game’.

Discuss changes early

New or worsening memory problems should be assessed by a qualified health professional. Sudden confusion or neurological symptoms may require urgent care.
