I hear a lot of ways people, doctors sometimes, offer to avoid AD(Alzheimer's Disease), but I'm not sure any of them really work. One piece of advice is just common sense:
1. Take care of yourself. Don't get any other disease because it can be the trigger that prompts AD to begin affecting your brain.
2. Another common sense way to avoid AD is continue your active life style. Walk or work out because that insures good blood flow to the brain.
3. Eat well. It insures good nutrition to the brain. Take vitamins if you have to but make sure your brain gets all the essential nutrition.
4. Do hard work with your brain. Work difficult math problems. Learn a new language.Work crossword puzzles--hard ones.
5. Listen to classical music.
6. Read things that are difficult to understand. You might want to keep a dictionary close. Look up the hard words.
Use your brain. The way to make your body strong is to work it. The same thing goes for your brain. The way to keep it in shape is to work it. All these things I've advised are things that will make new connections in your neurons. It's the number of connections that make you smarter, not the number of neurons.
