Healthy living may slow early dementia: study

By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A program that emphasizes healthy eating, brain and social engagement, physical activity and heart health may slow dementia among people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, says a new preliminary report from Sweden. The findings can’t guarantee that healthy living will prevent Alzheimer’s disease but they add to growing evidence that suggests overall health is tied to dementia risk. “This is really hard evidence that we can do something for brain health,” said Dr. Miia Kivipelto, the study’s lead author, from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The findings also show that it’s not too late to help brain health since the participants were all at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, Kivipelto added. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
