[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is NO way to prevent dementia/alzheimer's. No one could have been more mentally and physically active, in better health than my Father. And it came for him. Not buying these prevention suggestions. Do the many things suggested for yourself to live healthier now, now in the moment. Best you can.[/quote] Like basically all disease, you either have it in your genes or you engage in behavior that can bring it on. Plenty of incredibly fit people drop dead of a heart attack because they had an underlying genetic problem only discovered in autopsy, and plenty of people drop dead of heart attacks because they smoked like chimneys and were obese. Dementia is no different. Some have it in their genes regardless of lifestyle, and others engage in lifetime behaviors that cause it.[/quote]
