According to Dr. Achillefs Ntranos, MD, a neurologist specializing in neuroinflammatory disease and brain health and the founder of Achillefs Neurology Clinic, the most important habit to stop if you want to lower your risk of dementia is isolation. “Social isolation isn’t just about feeling lonely—it’s a brain hazard,” he says. “Studies show it increases dementia risk by up to 50%, likely due to reduced cognitive stimulation, heightened stress and mood changes. Humans are wired for connection; without it, our brains pay a price.”
