here is a link to a review article on the study

these 5 things arent that hard to do
many of you are probably doing them already anyway

like many things the younger you start them and the longer you do them the more effective they are

here they are

150 minutes of moderate exercise a week
eating a well balanced diet like the mind diet or mediterranean diet
light to moderate alcohol consumption
engagement in cognitive activities like chess reading writing etc
not smoking

if you do 2 or 3 the risk goes down by 37%
if you do 4 or 5 the risk goes down by 60%

that doesnt seem to be to hard to do right
then
add
controlling your blood pressure
controlling your cholesterol
maybe even controlling your blood sugar

these will not only reduce your risk for alzheimers disease as you get older
but
it also will decrease your risk for heart disease and stroke and the complications of diabetes
