Want to protect your brain as you age? Science says to start with this routine

A new study suggests you don't need extreme workouts or complicated diets to support your brain. Just a consistent routine and a bit of support, like coaching or regular social connection, can go a long way The research, published in JAMA, followed more than 2,000 adults aged 60 to 79 who were at risk of dementia and cognitive decline. Over the course of two years, participants were encouraged to move more, stay socially connected, and manage their heart health. They were also advised to eat well using the brain-friendly MIND diet. This diet emphasizes leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, and fish while limiting red meat and processed foods.. One group followed a structured program with coaching and regular check-ins. The other group was given the same advice but had to make the changes on their own. A little structure made a big difference At the end of the study, both groups showed improvements. However, those who received structured support experienced greater gains in memory, focus, and processing speed. This support included regular coaching, group activities, goal-setting, and check-ins that helped keep participants motivated and accountable. The benefits were especially noticeable in people who had lower cognitive scores at the start. This suggests that healthy habits do matter, but it is the routine and accountability, having someone or something to help you stay on track, that makes those habits stick and leads to better results. For readers, this does not mean you need a personal coach or expensive program. Simple ways to create support include joining a local walking or exercise group, setting reminders or using apps to track your goals, partnering with a friend or family member for regular check-ins, or signing up for community classes or social clubs that focus on wellness. What this means for you The takeaway? You don't need to overhaul your lifestyle overnight. Building a simple structure, like joining a walking group or using an app to track your goals, can make it easier to follow through and see the benefits. And if you're looking to get started, moving a little more each day is a great first step.

‘Relentlessly debilitating': Justin Timberlake says he has Lyme disease

Pop star Justin Timberlake told fans Thursday he has Lyme disease, a condition he described as 'relentlessly debilitating.' The 44-year-old former NSYNC frontman, whose world tour has just wrapped up, took to Instagram in a reflective mood. 'This has been the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and, at times, gruelling experience,' he said of a tour that was criticised by some fans as lacklustre. 'Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease - which I don't say so you feel bad for me - but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes. 'Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis, I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Justin Timberlake (@justintimberlake) Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria often carried by ticks that live in woodlands throughout North America and Europe. Symptoms can include widespread pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. In serious cases, patients could experience damage to the tissues, joints and immune system. The Can't Stop The Feeling singer was in legal hot water last year after being arrested for drunk driving in a small town near New York. Timberlake's tumultuous relationship with Britney Spears inspired his 2002 smash Cry Me A River. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and was ordered to do community service.
