KEEPING your heart healthy and blood pressure under control is the key to avoiding Alzheimer’s disease, scientists
have found.
People who take simple steps from the age of 50 to reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke can hold off the crippling symptoms of dementia.
Eating a healthy diet, watching your weight, stopping smoking and keeping blood pressure normal have been shown to bolster the brain and help keep it alert. It means that everyone can play their part in protecting themselves by keeping fit and active.
