Possible Ways To Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease

Manage Cholesterol

A healthy diet is important for every aspect of an individual's physical health, but it may also help prevent Alzheimer's disease. In particular, it's important for individuals to manage their cholesterol. There have been links between high levels of 'bad' cholesterol and the development of Alzheimer's disease. When a patient's cholesterol is too high, their body overproduces proteins that cause plaque buildups in the arteries and other blood vessels. There may also be protein buildups in the brain, which can lead to the development of dementia and similar conditions. High levels of 'bad' cholesterol might indicate the patient's body isn't breaking down amyloid proteins the way it's supposed to. There are a few ways individuals can improve their cholesterol, including eliminating trans fats from their diet and reducing saturated fats. Individuals should also increase the amount of soluble fiber in their diet and eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids.
