It's a bit long in a way.

But again, study after study, Pat, confirms this.

We might do them in order, will we?

Social activity is a huge protector if you socialise.

Now, the reason for that is when you're in a social situation, your brain is firing and all it's sitting under is lighting up.

You're having a conversation, you're maybe slightly anxious, and that's really beneficial to the brain.

So social activity is a huge one.

The second one is cognitive activity.

So, learn an instrument, do a crossword, keep your brain agile, like a muscle.

That's a big one.

But things people don't probably realise, but hearing aids are really good.

If you go slightly deaf, you're less engaged with the people around you.

And again, that makes your brain less active.

So, if you've got a hearing problem, get a hearing aid.

That's another one, right?

Another one is high cholesterol.

The other things are pretty standard.

High cholesterol, smoking is a risk factor, too much alcohol, moderation.

Physical activity.

Another one?
