3 ways to build brain-boosting social connections

Article
Harvard Health
SUMMARY

The Harvard Health article emphasizes the importance of social connections for maintaining brain health and cognitive function. It suggests that engaging in meaningful social activities can stimulate attention and memory, thereby strengthening neural networks. The article recommends three strategies: rekindling old friendships, focusing on the quality of relationships over quantity, and utilizing technology to maintain connections, especially when in-person interactions are not feasible. Given the credibility of Harvard Health Publishing and supporting research, incorporating these practices into one's lifestyle may help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. However, individual experiences may vary, and these strategies should complement other healthy lifestyle habits.
