Some changes in memory are a normal part of aging, such as taking a little longer to recall a name. Healthy habits can help support your brain as you get older.
- Keep learning: try a new hobby, language, instrument or digital skill.
- Stay social: keep in regular contact with friends, family or community groups.
- Move your body: physical activity benefits the brain as well as the heart.
- Look after your heart: manage blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.
- Check your hearing: treating hearing loss makes it easier to stay engaged.
- Sleep well and limit alcohol.
See a doctor if memory problems affect daily life, such as getting lost in familiar places, struggling with bills or repeating questions often. Many causes of confusion, including some vitamin deficiencies and thyroid problems, are treatable.
