Preventing Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

For now there isn’t a proven way to prevent Alzheimer’s Disease or AD, however the research continues. While the scientists may not have the final answer yet, they might have gathered some clues about the disease from the research work already completed.

There’s a suggestion that maintaining good health habits may decrease the chances of various diseases, including those that affect the brain. It seems that the best bet lies in going along with the following tips based on what has been discovered till now, and which may be helpful.

  1. Lower cholesterol and homocysteine levels
  2. Lower high blood pressure levels. How about preventing yourself from High BP?
  3. Control diabetes. BTW you might even try preventing it.
  4. Exercise regularly
  5. Engage in social activities (friends, family, etc.)
  6. Engage in intellectually stimulating activities.
  7. Protect your brain from trauma/injury/jarring
  8. Eat a healthy diet.

Hope the scientists and researchers soon hit the jackpot and get an answer. I hope and I hope and I wish and I hope...
