Each year around one hundred thousand Americans develop Alzheimer’s disease and many pieces of research have thought and worked to understand how Alzheimer is developed and they have tried hard to figure out the causes, but until now there is no clear and certain theory in that regards, so all we can do is keep our brain healthy and sharp by following a good lifestyle and making good food choices. Here are some ways that you can try them to protect yourself and reduce the risk of Alzheimer.
- Eat more fruits and veggies – three servings of fruit and vegetable may decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s disease more than 50%.
- Follow a Mediterranean-style diet- it is rich in olive oil and veggies which are a great feed for our brains.
- Increase OMEGA-3 fatty acids- The Omega-3 fatty acids in fish, walnuts, eggs, and flax seeds have been shown to slow the progression of the disease.
