ABSTRACT
In recent years, interest in the effects of a whole lifestyle approach to Alzheimer's prevention and treatment has grown. Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain condition that impairs thinking, behaviour, and memory. Although while there is no known cure for Alzheimer's, there is mounting evidence that adopting a healthy lifestyle can significantly lower the risk of contracting the condition and slow its progression. Making adjustments to one's diet, physical activity, stress management, and social involvement are all part of a comprehensive lifestyle approach. One diet that has been demonstrated to boost brain function and lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease is one that is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats but low in sugar and processed foods. It has also been demonstrated that exercise, such as walking, cycling, or resistance training, is beneficial for the health and function of the brain. An all-encompassing lifestyle approach to the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease also includes stress management. Alzheimer's disease risk and brain health deterioration have both been connected to long-term stress. Deep breathing, yoga, and other stress-reduction practises can help lower stress levels and enhance brain health. Finally, it has been demonstrated that social engagement, such as taking part in group activities, spending time with family and friends, and volunteering, has a good effect on brain health and lowers the chance of developing Alzheimer's disease.
