We often hear about the importance of brain health, but what does looking after your brain health mean when you're living with MS? And what practical steps can you take to support it every day?
In this episode of the MS Trust podcast, we speak with Consultant Neurologist Dr Agne Straukiene, about the everyday habits that can help support brain health. We discuss the role of movement, sleep, stress management, nutrition, cognitive wellbeing and other lifestyle factors that can help support thinking, memory and overall wellbeing.
We also spoke to Consultant Neurologist and Professor Nikos Evangelou and Postdoctoral Researcher Dr Silvia at the MS Trust Conference where we discussed how people with MS can make meaningful and sustainable changes to improve wellbeing and how to set realistic goals to help these changes.
