3. Be more active
Exercising for at least half an hour a day can affect your health positively. Not only you’ll feel fresher and younger, but you’ll help decrease the chances of suffering from dementia. Exercise helps keep your brain in shape as well, not just your body.
4. Increase your Vitamin D intake
Over the years, more and more importance is given to the vitamin D. A study conducted in the US back in 2014 showed that the deficiency of this vitamin can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s by 125 percent.
If you want to increase your daily intake of this vitamin just spend more time on the sun. If that’s not an option, take some supplements.
5. Drink coffee
If you are one of those people who can’t imagine starting their day without a cup of coffee, than you are at the same time lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 50 percent.
This drink plays the role of an antioxidant.
6. Protect your head
Studies suggest that bad head injuries can later lead to developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. That is why make sure you keep your head safe at all times, especially when you’re riding a bike or motorcycle. Never do it without a helmet.
