Is there a way to prevent Alzheimer’s?

Some researchers say that there is still no sure way to prevent Alzheimer’s, but there is a lot of evidence that several factors related to having a healthy lifestyle may play a role in reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. However, more research is needed before any of these agents can be a proven strategy to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Population-based studies suggest that factors related to general health may also reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive decline. These factors include regular physical activity, eating a healthy diet, and keeping the brain active through lifelong learning.
In addition, a Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Among people at risk of cardiovascular disease, a Mediterranean diet is also associated with improved cognition.

The Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and fish, and uses olive oil as the main fat for cooking. More research is needed to confirm specific Alzheimer’s prevention strategies. According to Myoclinic, here are some factors that promote overall health:
Avoid smoking.
Control vascular risk factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Eat a balanced and healthy diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in vegetables, fruits and lean protein, especially protein sources containing omega-3 fatty acids.
Be physically and socially active, including aerobic exercise.
Take care of your mental health.
Use thinking (cognitive) skills such as memory skills.
