Practice relaxation

Manageable stress motivates you and supports brain health. But relaxation is just as important. Meditation and music are great de-stressors. A good night's rest assists in mental sharpness. Adults who sleep poorly over a long period are more likely to suffer cognitive decline.

Simple routines can improve sleep, such as limiting food and drink three hours before bedtime, maintaining the same sleep schedule, and eliminating electronic devices in the bedroom.
