Elderly people with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's may benefit from a healthy lifestyle. A recent study shows that changes in diet, exercise, supplements and stress management can improve cognitive function. This approach offers hope for slowing memory decline and improving quality of life.
Today, more than 1600 Dutch doctors, scientists and other healthcare professionals are calling on politicians, the population and industry to take a stand against the corona virus: Ensure a healthy lifestyle. Being fit reduces the chance of serious symptoms and increases the chance of a speedy recovery.
Many Dutch people do not know which lifestyle factors could play a role in developing Alzheimer's disease. For example, 38 percent of those surveyed do not know that excessive body weight is a risk factor for getting Alzheimer's.
