7 Ways to Help Prevent Dementia.

1. Watch Your Weight
Keep a healthy body weight (neither underweight or obese).
2. Exercise Regularly 
Regular exercise is the single most important factor in reducing the risk.
3. Intervene Early
The process of dementia may start early and take 15-20 years before clinical symptoms appear so follow all these steps now.
4. Look after Your Heart
Vascular conditions should be managed to reduce the risk of dementia. Studies have indicated that statins use is associated with risk of dementia.
5. Get an Education
The more education you have the less likely you are to develop dementia. You will function better for longer if your cognitive function has been primed from a young age.
6. Eat Healthy
A diet high in fruit, fish, and vegetables can lower the risk of dementia and vascular risk factors. A Mediterranean diet is highly recommended. 
7. Limit Alcohol
High alcohol intake above recommended limits is one of the lifestyle factors associated with an increased risk of dementia.
