Research Suggests Ways to Slow Alzheimer's
A new study released at the International Conference on Prevention of Dementia on June 11th suggests that treating other health factors - like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol can help slow the onset and severity of dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease.
This research further links heart and brain health. Cardiovascular problems like heart attacks or stroke may also increase the onset of dementia. Taking positive actions, like treating high blood pressure, exercising, and changing diet can all help reduce dementia.

Alcohol Can Slow the Onset of Dementia
One drink per day may reduce the onset of dementia in elderly people.
Having one drink per day may impede the progress of cognitive impairment for seniors. A study at the University of Bari, Italy, involving 1,445 people between the ages of 65 through 85, suggests that those who routinely drank one alcoholic beverage per day developed dementia and Alzheimer's disease at a slower rate than those who didn't. Of those in the drinking group, only 121 had developed mild cognitive impairment which included mild memory or mental problems.

EXERCISE AND ALZHEIMERS
It gets harder and harder to exercise as we get older. But, there are plenty of health benefits including one major one you might not have realized before.
There’s more and more information now that keeping our cardiovascular system clean and healthy does more than just protect our heart; it can prevent the onset of mental decline in our golden years.
And this study shows in particular, exercise can have a powerful effect in preventing dementia.
Senior exerciser Mimi Dubin says, “I’m 75 years old and I don’t think I’d be so full of energy without this class.”

According to new research in the medical journal the lancet, the number of people that have dementia--the common form is Alzheimer’s disease--is going to double every twenty years.
Given that 24 million worldwide have dementia today, that number will go up to 42 million by 2020, and 81 million by 2040.
Now, 61 percent of these patients live in developed countries, like the U.S. But that number is going to go up to 71 percent by 2040

ALZHEIMER’S AND EXERCISE
There is a growing body of evidence that shows that people can delay and even prevent the onset of dementia by living a healthier lifestyle when young, and that includes exercising.
We don’t completely understand what triggers Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in general. For decades doctors have been preaching we should pump, run, and row our way to good health. But hitting the pavement and the gym for your brain? That’s exactly what a growing number of scientists are advising their patients.
