Dementia is growing exponentially worldwide. Unfortunately, the treatment available does not reverse any type of cognitive impairment. As a result, healthcare professionals are focusing on other evidence-based options, such as lifestyle medicine (LM). Current evidence demonstrates improvement in neurocognitive decline by applying the six pillars of LM, which include plant-based nutrition, physical activity, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, restorative sleep, and social connections.Plant-based nutrition has a positive impact on cognition by decreasing the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) with high adherence to the Mediterranean-Dietary Approach to Systolic Hypertension (DASH) Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND). Physical activity also might prevent neurocognitive decline by increasing fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) and Irisin in the hippocampus, which increases energy expenditure and prolongs endurance.Additionally, higher perceived stress in adulthood and the use of risky substances such as alcohol, nicotine, and opioids are significantly associated with developing mild cognitive impairment and all-cause dementia. Furthermore, there is a positive correlation between poor sleep and social isolation with a rapid progression in cognitive decline. Lifestyle changes have a substantial impact on brain health. Therefore, the focus should always be on prevention as the primary treatment tool.
