I’m a registered dietitian and freelance journalist writing an article about evidence-based morning habits that may help reduce dementia risk and support long-term brain health. I’m looking for insights from preventive neurologists, cognitive/behavioral neurologists, sleep neurologists and geriatricians who can comment on simple habits people can do before 10 a.m. to support brain health and potentially lower dementia risk over time. We’re specifically looking for practical, realistic morning habits backed by research (for example: morning light exposure, movement, hydration, blood-pressure–supportive habits, breakfast patterns, sleep/circadian support, etc.). Please share brief responses to any of the following: What is one morning habit you recommend before 10 a.m. to help lower dementia risk, and why? What does the research say about how this habit supports long-term brain health or cognitive function? Are there any specific mechanisms involved (for example: cerebral blood flow, glymphatic clearance, circadian rhythm, inflammation, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure regulation, etc.)? What is one practical tip for making this habit more consistent in everyday life? Are there any common morning habits people should avoid because they may negatively affect long-term brain health? Please include your full name, credentials, and title.
