One of the best things you can do for Alzheimer's prevention is creating healthy habits you will enjoy and, even more importantly, follow. Here are nine prevention-focused practices you can add to your life right now to minimize your chance of getting Alzheimer’s disease.
Everything that we eat and drink affects our brain health. The Mediterranean diet significantly lowers your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. This plant-based diet focuses on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and herbs every day. Healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, legumes, and seafood are in the plan.
Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables are crucial for Alzheimer's prevention and fighting cell damage in our brain and body. The best antioxidants are vitamin C (red berries and lemons), vitamin E (seeds and dark-colored fruit), carotenoids (spinach and broccoli), flavonoids (blueberries and dark chocolate), and selenium (fish and Brazil nuts).
Vitamin D from the sun, absorbed through the skin, is also considered part of this group. Nutrition experts recommend eating fruits and vegetables in a rainbow of colors, with the boldest colors best at fighting disease and preventing long-term damage to cells.
Growing evidence shows that 7-8 hours of sleep each night is essential for healthy brain function. Taking steps to wind down in the evening and establish a sleep routine can help. Dimming lights, turning off electronics, and choosing quieter activities can help ease you into a bedtime state of mind.
Brain activities and games can stimulate your thinking. Another way to help with Alzheimer's prevention is to strengthen your cognitive abilities. You can complete a crossword puzzle or Scrabble, tackle Sudoku, or solve a picture puzzle or visual challenge. You can learn a musical instrument, create original art, or play chess to train your brain. All of these activities help with neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to make new connections.
Most people don’t get the proper amount of brain health nutrients in their day-to-day diets, so supplementing for Alzheimer’s and dementia is highly recommended.
Consider the Memory Health® supplement, an all-natural, patented formula. With carotenoids (Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin), Omega-3s (DHA and EPA), and Natural Vitamin E, it has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce oxidative stress on the brain, fend off dangerous free radicals and protect the brain from inflammation from daily stress.
Not to mention, the nutrients in Memory Health® have been tested and proven in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. It’s the only supplement to receive a United States patent for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disease [Alzheimer's disease and dementia in a human subject]. It’s been clinically proven to improve cognitive functions, memory, sight, focus, clarity, and mood.
Memory Health® was tested and proven in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, becoming the first supplement to receive a patent for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disease, specifically Alzheimer's and dementia. It has been clinically proven to improve cognitive functions and memory. Other tested benefits include improvement in sight, focus, clarity, and mood.
