29. Watch the match with your mates (it’s winning whatever the result)

Research suggests that social isolation is linked to an increased risk of dementia. So keeping connected to the people around us is another good way to give back to our brains.

A recent study showed that five in 100 cases of dementia worldwide could be linked to social isolation in later life.

Scientists aren’t sure whether social isolation directly increases our risk of dementia, or whether it’s an early symptom of the condition. But one thing is for certain: keeping connected is good for our brain health.

Spending time with loved ones, having virtual catch-ups or volunteering can also help us feel happier and healthier in general.
