Abstract

Promoting cognitive vitality involves enhancing and sustaining cognitive function throughout the lifespan, with an emphasis on preventive strategies and positive interventions. This paper explores the science and practice of positive neuropsychology, an emerging field that integrates principles from neuroscience, psychology, and wellness to promote brain health and well-being. By focusing on the potential for cognitive growth, neuroplasticity, and resilience, the paper examines how lifestyle factors such as physical exercise, nutrition, stress management, and mental stimulation can foster cognitive vitality. It also highlights the role of mindfulness, emotional regulation, and social engagement in optimizing brain function and reducing the risk of cognitive decline. Drawing from both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, the paper offers insights into how individuals can cultivate cognitive vitality through evidencebased practices, thus contributing to enhanced overall well-being and quality of life.
