Early Brain Decline: Signs, Prevention, and Treatment Options

Early Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Cognitive decline often starts subtly. Watch for:

Forgetting names, appointments, or directions
Trouble focusing or multitasking
Slower problem-solving or decision-making
Mood changes like irritability or withdrawal
Repeating questions or stories

These early signs can progress if left unaddressed—but they’re also highly treatable when caught early.

What Causes Brain Decline?

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
Poor sleep quality or untreated sleep apnea
Nutritional deficiencies (like B12 or omega-3s)
Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, testosterone, estrogen)
Metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance
Sedentary lifestyle or lack of mental stimulation
