I don't worry too much. Just try to pay attention to what researchers are saying and controlling what I can with my lifestyle.

I work still and will continue to work till at least 67.

I'm a developer and development manager so I get to challenge my brain routinely at work. I consume nuts, lots of and a variety of tea, a little chocolate and some red wine to help with polyphenols [1]. Oh and Omega 3 fatty acid sources. I am actively getting my weight under control.

I play puzzles, board games and other things to stimulate my brain.

As a 30 year old I think of the same. I'm trying to not spend the next 30 years being sedentary in a office.

I'm trying to pick of all kinds of outdoor hobbies I can do year around.

I've been sedentary most of my life. That has turned out to be not so good for my health. I do go workout now about 5 times a week. Been doing that for 3+ years.

I think your strategy of finding outside hobbies can be a real benefit.
