Keeping Alzheimer's Disease Out

Alzheimer’s disease is a major killer in the Western world and is a neurodegenerative disorder. It is the commonest form of dementia. Prevention is always better than cure. Right now, no cure is available for getting rid of Alzheimer’s disease. Some sensible and easy measures can be used to prevent or, delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

Speak Two Languages

The most obvious method is to get good education. It has been shown that individuals with low levels of education are highly susceptible to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, knowledge is always useful and helps in more than one way. Another interesting study has shown up an interesting twist. People who know more than one language have reduced risk for getting Alzheimer’s disease.

Exercise for the Brain

Exercise offers several benefits. One of the benefits of exercise is to ward off Alzheimer’s disease. It has been shown that any kind of physical activity is useful. Even helping in the kitchen and activities like gardening could be considered as physical activity for preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Physical exercise involves only the skeletal muscle. The brain also requires exercise. Keeping the brain engaged through some useful activities like playing chess or, solving puzzles helps to keep the brain in fine fettle.
