Healthy Living As we navigate through the weeks of quarantine, several discussions have taken place about the effect of this on mental health. The information below is just an excerpt from an article about this subject. Hope this encourages you to change a pattern in your life. "The biggest risk factor associated with cognitive decline and dementia is aging. As the older adult population continues to grow, with one-fifth of the world population projected to consist of older adults (60+) by 2050, the rates of dementia will rise, affecting an estimated 65.7 million people worldwide by 2030, and 115.4 million by 2050. With little advancement in the ability for drugs to treat dementia, many people are left asking: "What can I do to help prevent or delay the onset of cognitive decline and dementia? and "What can I do to maintain healthy living as I grow older? "Fortunately, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that adopting certain lifestyle behaviors, such as exercising, consuming a healthy diet, and participating in social activity, as well as maintaining heart health and monitoring cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity), can reduce the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. In the past, many studies have focused on one lifestyle behavior at a time, but more recently, researchers have found that participating in multiple healthy lifestyle behaviors associated with cognitive decline and dementia may be more beneficial than participating in just one."
