To prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s, it’s not just simple exercise, such as going for a walk every day, swimming at least once a week and dancing that helps. Also eat appropriate foods that protect.
Who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer’s depends on various factors: in particular age, lifestyle with regular alcohol and cigarette consumption, underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetesoverweight, depression and lack of sleep are associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

In many cases, dementia and Alzheimer’s can be delayed or even avoided: those who follow a Mediterranean diet and regularly use olive oil with their meals can keep their minds fit for a long time as they age Studies. Accordingly, the Mediterranean diet can help slow the progression of dementia and delay Alzheimer’s disease. Vegetables in particular with a high proportion of the sterol stigmasterol can have a decisive influence. When consumed through food, plant sterols can inhibit the formation of plaque proteins, which are crucial in Alzheimer’s disease. “Stigmasterol affects different molecular processes, it lowers enzyme activity, inhibits the formation of Alzheimer’s-relevant proteins and changes the structure of the cell membrane,” says Dr. Marcus Grimm, professor of experimental neurology at Saarland University.
