- Exercise your muscles. Physical exercise may help reduce your risk of developing memory problems.
- Exercise your brain. Engaging in intellectually challenging activities has been associated with better memory skills.
- Avoid isolation. People who have a limited social network may have a much greater risk of developing dementia.
