Tips To Keep Mind Active
These are some tips on how you can keep your mind active and lower the risk of developing dementia.
Physical Activity
Exercising regularly will make your heart and blood circulatory system more efficient. It will also help to lower cholesterol and maintain your blood pressure at a healthy level, decreasing the risk of developing vascular dementia.
Connectivity
Be physically and socially active. Physical activity and social interaction may delay the onset of dementia.
Brain Activity
Keep your mind active. Mentally stimulating activities, such as puzzles, Sudoku and other word games serve as cognitive training that may offset or delay the setting in of dementia.
Diet
Maintain a healthy diet. Having a healthy diet is important for many reasons, but a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and omega-3 fatty acids – commonly found in certain fish and nuts – may promote overall health and offset or delay the setting in of dementia.
