Strategies to Reduce the Risk of Dementia for Everyone

Start Small If You Want To

It’s not about making drastic changes overnight. People typically don’t overhaul their lifestyles quickly. Instead, focus on one unhealthy habit you’d like to change and commit to either reducing or adding something beneficial. For example, if you enjoy eating fries several times a week, try cutting back to once a week. Take a short five-minute walk or reconnect with an old friend or someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.

Remember that the saying “the longest journey begins with a single step” also applies to dementia prevention. Every small change you make can contribute to a healthier future.
