As we shared last week, all of us here at Manor Lake Assisted Living and Memory Care in Canton, GA are committed to raising awareness and encouraging early recognition of Alzheimer’s during Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month.
June is a time to focus on protecting and strengthening our brain health—because no matter your age, there are simple, daily habits that can support your memory and mental sharpness for years to come.
Here are five powerful tips to boost brain health today:
1 – Prioritize Sleep
Lack of sleep can interfere with memory and thinking skills. Quality sleep is essential for brain function, especially for memory consolidation. Aim for 7–9 hours of restful sleep each night.
2 – Eat a Brain-Healthy Diet
A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats supports overall brain health. The nutrients in these foods fuel cognitive function and may lower your risk of decline.
3 – Keep Learning
Lifelong learning helps build cognitive reserve and strengthen neural pathways. Whether it’s taking a class, picking up a new hobby, or reading daily, keep your brain engaged and curious.
4 – Quit Smoking
Smoking reduces blood flow to the brain and significantly increases the risk of cognitive decline. Quitting today improves your long-term brain and lung health.
5 – Support Your Mental Wellbeing
Mental health matters. Depression, anxiety, and chronic stress can negatively affect your brain. Don’t hesitate to seek help—taking care of your emotional wellbeing supports your cognitive health too.
At Manor Lake BridgeMill, we are proud to offer support, resources, and expert care throughout every stage of cognitive health. For those facing memory-related conditions, it is our honor to provide the highest level of peace, comfort, and quality of life.
This is what we do. This is who we are.
