Are there any proven Alzheimer's prevention strategies?

Although more research is needed to definitively prove which Alzheimer's prevention strategies are effective, some possible strategies that promote good overall health include:

1. Avoiding smoking
2. Eating a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits and lean protein, particularly protein sources containing omega-3 fatty acids
3. Being physically and socially active
4. Taking care of your mental health
5. Using thinking (cognitive) skills, such as memory skills
