6. Lifestyle Factors
Most studies related to dementia have shown that our lifestyle choices can have a significant impact on our risk of developing mental disorders. Evidence shows that people with various healthy behaviors, especially in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, have the lowest chance of developing dementia.
These behaviors include keeping a healthy diet, drinking alcohol only in moderation, not smoking, and engaging in regular mental, social, and physical activity. The risk of mental disorders is lowest for those who do at least three of these behaviors. When just one or two of these behaviors are followed, the risk is reduced by a very small amount.

88 + still learning. I have found the internet has More info. than just the woke info. and childish games with all the bad over the world on display as it happens. I am still going even with cervical spinal stenosis. Emotional stress increases with this problem. Peop[le need to go through the 7 Reasons early in life. More articles on that rather than trans gender and all the rest of the stuff they focus on. If they don’t they wont have a good life to do what it isthey want to do.
Great reply! I agree with you. Two years ago I had aortic valve replacement. Now I have lumbar spinal stenosis and it so impedes my ability to move….and to sleep. Other than that, I don’t feel’ my age. Not sure it that’s a detriment or not. But it’s certainly eye-opening. Dear Lord, just don’t let me lose my mind.
Here for the woke info!
I had brain bleed and ever since, I have issues
How come you didnt mention lack of sleep is also a risk factor?
I know that’s my biggest issues. 3-4
Hr of fragmented sleep for over 30yrs. I know it’s gonna do me in.
Wanting to know more.
I want to know more about the disease
Thank you for sharing
Studying Spanish and relearning Hebrew, taking lessons on my fourth musical instrument after a long time of not having time to play music (while raising children and pursuing a career), have all contributed to my feeling of youthfulness, not to mention regular physical activity, regular sleep and eating habits, and a positive attitude bolstered by my abiding faith in Jesus Christ.
Failed to mention the importance of proper nutrition. In 2006 the Mayo Clinic stated that all persons 70 and younger diagnosed with any dementia should be tested for Celiac Disease when they found extremely high numbers of misdiagnosed people with dementia/Alzheimer’s. In 2008 neurologists identified exactly with vitamin and mineral deficiency was responsible for ataxia, aphasia, neuropathy, and dementia. I was misdiagnosed 16 years ago at age 45 with dementia and given only a year to live. Turns out, I am actually Celiac and 1000% better after my body could absorb proper nutrition. Doctors are responsible for the death of my mother, brother, and other family members due to misdiagnoses.
This probably won’t make it past your comment screening…but studies are now coming out showing that mRna platformed vaccines…yep, the “jabb”
bring the risk of prion-type diseases way up. Dementia is related as amyloid issues are part of it as well. The more jabbs the more risk you incur…not for just dementia but cardiovascular/ stroke/infarction issues etc. Oh, and as the insurance actuarials call it…”all- cause mortality”
mRna is a weapon that is harmful to all living beings and THEY know it.
