I came across the title: “6 unexpected ways to decrease your risk of Alzheimer’s.” I took that as a challenge and read on to see what, if anything, surprised me. None of the six strategies did, nor should they surprise most people. Do any of these six ways surprise you?
Eat well
Rest
Exercise
Sleep well
Be socially active
Stimulate your mind
It could be I am just too familiar with the issue. Please let me know in the comments if any of these six strategies were unexpected for you.
Early on in my brain health research I came across the claim that home caregivers for spouses with dementia are six times more likely to get dementia as well. A recent article claims instead that the probability is 74% for women, 69% for men. In either case I am still beating the odds. Despite what anyone else might think I am no more brain compromised now.
I am getting ready to get out and give presentations soon. One of them will be called “Home Care Wisdom.” Self preservation for home care partners will be one of the topics.
