πŸ”¬ The science of staying wrinkly

Everyone worries about their skin getting wrinkly. The better worry is your brain getting smooth: with age the cortex thins and the brain loses volume β€” and the habits in this app are the best-evidenced ways to push back. (Strictly speaking aging brains shrink rather than smooth out, but you get the idea.)

The 2024 Lancet Commission tied ~45% of dementia risk to modifiable factors β€” inactivity, isolation, low cognitive engagement, diet and vascular health, depression and sleep.

The landmark FINGER trial showed a combined program β€” exercise, cognitive training, Mediterranean-style food, social engagement β€” beat any single change: executive function improved 83% more than control.

Targets are weekly, not daily, on purpose: forgiving goals sustain habits far better than fragile streaks. Every fold counts.
