Forgetfulness Isn’t Inevitable—It’s a Warning Sign

People joke about “senior moments”-- losing your keys, forgetting names, or walking into a room and forgetting why you were there. That’s just part of “getting older,” right? Maybe not.

What if they were early whispers—gentle nudges—from your brain asking for better care?

The truth is: dementia isn't just a roll-of-the-dice fate. Up to 40% of dementia cases are linked to modifiable risk factors. Translation? You have more power than you think.

🧠 Your brain doesn’t decline on schedule. It responds to what you do daily.

And no, this isn’t about living a life of perfect wellness, aka never eating cake. It’s about small shifts that protect your mind long before forgetfulness becomes the norm.

👉TRY THIS

[For the main risk factors according to age and 12 ways to modify them, read the full article HERE.]

Pick just one of the 12 proven risk factors to target this week:

Invite a friend to coffee and call it a brain date (low social contact counts, too).
Swap one nightly glass of wine for sparkling water and lime.

These aren’t massive lifestyle overhauls—they’re brain insurance. Done consistently, they build cognitive resilience that lasts well beyond midlife.
