Are there any proven Alzheimer's prevention strategies? (By Mayo Clinic)

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
