It may come as a surprise, but what’s good for the heart is often good for the brain. Research has consistently shown a strong connection between cardiovascular health and cognitive function—especially in older adults.
When the heart isn’t pumping efficiently, the brain may receive less oxygen-rich blood. Over time, this can impact memory, focus, and overall mental clarity. High blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol—common conditions among seniors—can also raise the risk of cognitive decline if left unmanaged.
At Brentwood Healthcare Center, we take a proactive approach to supporting both heart and brain health. From heart-healthy meal options to wellness programs that encourage gentle movement and stress reduction, our goal is to promote long-term cognitive wellness through everyday care.
Simple changes like a balanced diet, routine health checks, and staying active can go a long way. By protecting heart health, we’re also supporting what matters most—quality of life, independence, and clear, confident thinking.
