The Five Pillars of Brain Health

Every article on this site connects back to one of these core areas, the lifestyle levers the research consistently points to.

😴

Sleep

Your brain clears amyloid plaque during deep sleep. Chronic poor sleep may be the single most overlooked dementia risk factor.

🏃

Exercise

Aerobic exercise grows the hippocampus and boosts BDNF, your brain’s growth hormone. 150 minutes a week is the research-backed minimum.

🥗

Nutrition

The MIND diet reduces Alzheimer’s risk by up to 53%. Leafy greens, berries, and olive oil are the stars of the research.

🧘

Stress

Chronic cortisol shrinks the hippocampus over time. Managing stress isn’t self-care, it’s brain protection.

🤝

Social Connection

Strong social ties build cognitive reserve, delaying symptom onset even when brain changes are present. Stay connected.
