Can Alzheimer's Disease Be Prevented?

A growing mountain of evidence now suggests that the same lifestyle changes doctors recommend to prevent or control diabetes, heart disease and obesity can also delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease!

DIET: Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and foods that are low in fat and sugar can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.  Now, studies are beginning to suggest this can also reduce the risk of developing AD!

EXERCISE: Researchers know that physical activity is good for the brain as well as the heart and the waistline!  One study found that the risk of developing AD was 40 percent lower in people who exercised at least 15 minutes a day, 3 or more times a week!
