Regardless of Medication Choices)
Even if you need a medicine with anticholinergic or sedative effects, you can support your brain with:
Cardiometabolic care: Control blood pressure, diabetes, lipids; move daily.
Sleep quality: Treat sleep apnea, maintain consistent routines.
Nutrition: Emphasize a Mediterranean-style pattern rich in plants, fish, olive oil; mind B12 if you’re on long-term acid-suppressing therapy. (Discuss testing/supplementation with your clinician.)
Mental engagement & social connection: Cognitive stimulation and community matter at every age.
These steps benefit overall cognition and may help buffer risks from necessary medications.
