According to the respected wellness staff at award-winning Canyon Ranch, there are five key factors that may significantly support your brain health.

1. Stay curious

Learning a new skill—such as piano or a new language—can help build “cognitive reserve,” the brain's ability to remain resilient as we age.

2. Movement and Rhythm

One reason to hit the dance floor: Studies have found that people who dance have increased amounts of their hippocampus, the part of the brain that handles memory and learning.

3. Build a community

Here’s good news for social butterflies—people who actively socialize with others tend to experience slower cognitive decline.

4. Get creative

Drawing, cooking and other creative activities are linked to improved cognitive health and a lower risk of dementia.

5. Get close to nature

A little green space can go a long way. Living close to nature may help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia.
