Just had a family member close to me die from alzheimers dmentia. Does anyone know if there are things you can do to prevent it? It runs in my family and I've done sports and drugs that increase your risks.
I'm sorry to hear that, my condolences. I watched a health documentary once that said that the best thing you can do to prevent it is actually physical exercise. It stimulates blood flow to the brain which helps keep it healthy (something like that anyway). Also constantly learning new things is a great way to keep it in use.
They say walking is a great way to reduce your risk, avoid eating sugar, and keep your mind active. I.e. do puzzles, crosswords, etc,
