Supporting Cognitive Health For A Thriving Mind

Cognitive health refers to everything about your brain that isn’t chemical ­– things such as sleeping, memory, communication, learning, and coping with everyday life. You can’t do anything well without good cognitive health. Keeping your brain functioning at its best is an important part of your overall health, so it’s vital that you protect and support it from infancy to old age.

Learn more about what cognitive health is and how you can support it from childhood to late adulthood.

The brain is like a muscle that can only stay strong if it’s well looked after. Supporting your cognitive health can help to maintain your brain’s wellbeing for life, and even fight premature brain ageing and decline.

Learn more about how to support all aspects of brain health, including early childhood learning, stress and mild anxiety, sleep and memory and brain function.

Supporting the cognitive health of you and your family can be as easy as making simple diet and lifestyle choices. However, it’s also vital to be aware of factors for reduced brain function, such as high stress and anxiety, a lack of quality sleep, poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and too much screen time.

It’s never too early. In early childhood, parents can support their child’s learning and development. In adolescents and young adults, a focus on cognitive wellbeing can improve their ability to cope with stressful situations, such as exams or starting a new job. Later in life, cognitive health can boost memory longevity and combat premature brain ageing.

Early childhood development is the foundation of all future learning in a child’s life, so it’s important to support their cognitive health from the start. One way to do this is with a healthy diet that helps foster a natural learning environment in the brain.

Research shows that when combined correctly, specific ingredients found in everyday foods such as oily fish, nuts and seeds can help support learning, concentration and healthy brain development in children.

A key part of cognition is the brain’s capacity for storing memories. Factors such as stress, a busy workload and ageing can affect its ability to properly retain information. By supporting your brain health, you can boost your memory-storing functionalities well into later life.

Sleep is the brain’s base camp for thinking clearly, coping with stress and functioning well. A lack of sleep can have physical and mental consequences – whatever your age and life stage. Sleep and cognition have a two-way relationship: without quality sleep, the brain’s performance is reduced, but not taking care of your cognitive wellbeing can adversely affect your ability to get essential sleep.
