Brain-Boosting Habits to Lower Alzheimer's Risk, Says Preventive Neurologist

Dr. Kellyann Niotis, a preventive neurologist, shares science-backed daily habits to reduce Alzheimer's risk: stay well hydrated (the brain is largely water), eat berries daily for antioxidants, include fatty fish twice weekly for omega-3s, and prioritize heavier strength training several times a week to preserve muscle mass linked to brain health. She also advocates variety in workouts and social interactions to boost brain reserve, highlighting links between muscle mass and hippocampal health and offering concrete, actionable steps beyond generic advice.
