World Alzheimer’s Day (21 September) is a reminder of the simple, everyday choices that can protect our brains and support memory health.

Did you know?

• Foods rich in omega-3s — like pilchards and sardines — are linked to sharper brain function.
• Leafy greens, whole grains, beans, and colourful fruits and veggies can help lower the risk of cognitive decline.
• Staying hydrated keeps the brain energised, while dehydration can worsen memory and confusion.
• Regular exercise improves blood flow to the brain and may reduce dementia risk.
• Learning new skills or hobbies helps build “cognitive reserve,” boosting brain resilience.
• Social connection, chatting, laughing, and spending time with others, supports long-term brain health.
