*Warning* : (Updates 2019) Genbrain?
Whilst
it is obvious that most people want to keep everything in good working order
for as long as possible, it is no secret that, fear of dementia as we age is a
driving force behind the brain exercise explosion. Baby boomers, of which I am
one, expect to live for a long time and they expect to accomplish more than
their parents and grandparents did. People want to be fit and healthy to enjoy
the latter part of their lives so brain health is becoming an accepted part of
our health and fitness regime. A healthy lifestyle has the potential to prevent
around a third of all dementia. Even people in the early stages of the disease
can still make a difference if they make changes beneficial to the health of
their brain. Although it is not by any means conclusive, medical science and
research have proved that a healthy lifestyle makes a difference to the health
of our brain. Some of the key factors that may help to lessen the impact of
dementia are pretty well known to most people by now but it is worth
reiterating them. Avoid Smoking.
Not smoking helps to prevent the onset of dementia. It also lowers the risk of several other smoker related diseases. Passive smoking can still be a problem but has been greatly reduced by introduction of smoking bans in the workplace and public areas. It is a known fact that when you stop smoking the body starts repairing itself straightaway regardless of how long you have been a smoker. When the body is well maintained and cared for it will run efficiently well into old age. Alcohol Consumption. No-one can dictate just how much alcohol another person should drink but the standard drinks rule does set guidelines for responsible drinking. Alcohol just like smoking has a whole raft of associated diseases that are well documented.
