You may find it interesting that you are less likely to develop dementia if you are socially active. Many studies have indicated that if you have a large social network, you are less likely to develop dementia.

This doesn't have to be a formal thing. Just hanging out with friends and family can really make a difference in your mental health. Research has shown that social interaction has a positive effect on both memory and cognition.

This doesn't mean you have to spend the entire day in social interaction, but you should look to have at least one social interaction a day. That is not a terribly big order, but as you get older it is more and more important for this to happen.
