Eating better and taking care of your health is the first step, but also taking note of how you sleep could be beneficial.
Sleeping in a certain position helps lower the risk of dementia, studies have found.
Sleep expert Narwan Amini said: “Sleeping on your side has been found to be the most beneficial position for your brain, with the position helping your brain to clear out interstitial waste faster than other positions.
“This leads to multiple benefits including potentially reducing the risk of developing neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s.”
Sleeping on your side is generally considered the healthiest sleeping position — this is because it gives good support for your spine, while also minimizing acid reflux.
