" MIND diet, 3 other lifestyle interventions may help reduce cognitive decline. "

While it’s not uncommon for people to experience problems with thinking and remembering with aging, moderate to severe cognitive decline is not a common aging experience.

While not all cases of mild cognitive impairment lead to dementia, about 10-20% of cases do.
For this reason, clinicians emphasize the importance of following a healthy lifestyle to help keep one’s brain healthy as one ages.

Among these interventions are following the MIND diet, a moderate to high-intensity exercise program, and engaging socially.

As we age, we experience a number of changes in our bodies and how they operate, including the brain. It’s not uncommon for people to have problems remembering names or having a slower time making decisions as we get older, normally referred to as mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, it is not common for these types of cognitive issues to have a negative impact on a person’s overall daily life.

If a person’s thinking and memory issues start to impact their daily life, this can be signs of moderate to severe cognitive decline, or dementia.
