   • Be physically active each day. Get moving! Walk, roll, jog, dance, swim, bike, garden or do chores or yard work. Any physical activity is better than none at all.
   • Stay socially active. Stay connected and engaged with your family, friends and community. Virtual visits and activities count, too! Social isolation in later life can increase dementia risk by an average of 60%.
   • Manage your medical conditions and learn more about them. In collaboration with your health-care provider, try to manage complex conditions such as diabetes and obesity as best you can.
   • Quit smoking. Quitting or reducing smoking, even in later life, can improve your brain health and reduce your dementia risk. Ask your health-care team for support!

   • Keep active and exercise regularly. Of all the lifestyle changes studied, regular physical activity seems to be the best one to prevent dementia. Cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, insulin resistance (i.e., diabetes), hypertension, and high LDL cholesterol, are all linked to increased risk for dementia.
   • Follow a heart-healthy diet. Specific heart-healthy diets characterized by a high intake of vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, cereals, and olive oil and low intake of saturated fats and meats, such as the Mediterranean and MIND diets, have been shown to protect against cognitive decline.
   • Quit smoking. We all know that smoking is bad for us and causes premature death. Additionally, scientists have found that smokers are at higher risk for dementia than non-smokers.
   • Limit alcohol consumption. High alcohol use is associated with brain changes, cognitive impairment, and dementia. The effects of moderate drinking, on the other hand, have been less clear.

   • Strategies work in some cases, not others. As people age, mental processing becomes slower and memory becomes less reliable — a normal condition known as age-related cognitive decline.
   • Start early. It’s now known that biological changes associated with Alzheimer’s and related dementias begin a decade or more before any symptoms become evident.
   • On cognitive training. Probably the best cognitive training you can get is a good education and ongoing mental stimulation. “There’s growing evidence that the ways in which your brain is challenged all through your life matter,” noted Langa, whose research has documented a decline in dementia rates in high-income countries over the past 25 years.
   • Try several things, not just one. When scientists examine the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, they find amyloid beta plaques and tangles, but also changes in blood vessels, evidence of microbleeds, and lesions in the brain’s white matter.
