Dr. Dale Bredesen is a world-renowned expert on neurodegenerative disease. Here are 7 factors he believes lower the risk for dementia, even for those with a high risk:
- Being active
- Eating healthier
- Reducing weight
- Not smoking
- Maintaining healthy blood pressure
- Maintaining healthy cholesterol
- Lowering blood sugar
