Many people worry that they may suffer from dementia in old age. However, as recent research shows, there are a few tips you can use to reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s.
As the portal writes MedikForumneurologist Alexandra Alekhina gave 12 tips, following which will help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
1. Exercise: what’s good for your heart is good for your brain. “This includes sufficient physical activity – ideally at least 2.5 hours a week,” Alyokhina noted.
2. Mental health: learn new things even in old age. It keeps your brain busy. Whether it’s a musical instrument, language or computer use.
3. Healthy eating. Follow the classic Mediterranean diet. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, olive oil and nuts. Choose fish over red meat.
4. Social contacts. Classes in pairs or in a group are more fun and challenge your brain cells.
5. Reduce excess weight. Make sure you don’t weigh too many pounds. A healthy diet and regular exercise will help you with this.
6. Get enough sleep. Get enough sleep so your brain can break down toxins and regenerate.
7. Don’t smoke. Smoking also harms your brain. Quit smoking, it’s never too late.
8. Avoid head injuries: protect your head in everyday life and during sports, wear a helmet, for example, when riding a bicycle.
9. Check your high blood pressure: Check your blood pressure regularly.
10. Check your diabetes: Monitor your blood sugar levels. If it is consistently too high, you should take action by consulting your doctor.
11. Treatment for depression: take care of yourself. If you feel lethargic or depressed for a long time, it makes sense to see a doctor to find out the cause. Depression should not go untreated.
12. Beware of hearing loss. Take it seriously if you notice that your hearing is getting worse, the doctor warned. “With a hearing aid, you can correct hearing loss very well,” she added.
