How to prevent dementia?

They say, prevention is better than cure. But, to our experience people fail to prevent dementia due to lack of knowledge and understanding on identifying and treating the early symptoms of dementia. Dementia can be prevented. Here, we present a blanket guideline for you.

Steps to prevent dementia:

1. Eat healthy: Your wellbeing goes in direct proportion with your eating habit let alone dementia. With the growing age you have to plan your diet judiciously that can in effect prevent many a disease like dementia. At this point, one must remember that based on his/her BMI (Body Mass Index, a number that reflects one’s weight in relation to his/her height) he/she should chart out his/her menu card. 
2. Think better: Your thought is your key to wellbeing, especially from dementia to a great extent. Dementia in essence is a kind of persistent mental disorder resulting memory loss and brain disease or brain injury causes it. On many an occasion, you keep brooding thereby exert unnecessary pressure on your brain cells. Positive thoughts on the contrary will invigorate you and will help you prevent dementia.
3. Exercise: Exercises circulate blood all throughout your body. Exercises therefore nourish your every organ. Some amount of aerobics such as brisk walk, swimming and cycling can surely help you prevent dementia. Alternatively, you can try out some yoga and pranayama. But, you must exercise regularly and at least for an hour each day. You can however observe a day off in a week.
4. Quit smoking: Smoking doesn’t do any good. Why don’t you then give it up? Smoking potentially damages your lungs and brain cells directly. While puffing you are adding nicotine and carbon (tar) to a considerably high level to your blood stream that reaches your brain and other body parts. We advise you to be a little observant here during and after the smoking. You will feel somewhat dizziness or nervousness during those time. You smoking habit over a period of time, especially with your growing age, therefore takes a heavy toll on your health leading to dementia and other serious illnesses such as high BP (Blood Pressure), heart disease and bronchial disease.    
5. Quit alcohol: Quitting alcohol may sound nonsense; but with you growing age you must tread cautiously with your eating as well as drinking habits. If you can’t give up alcohol, we then advise you to control the drinking pattern – not more than a peg or two in a day. Increased presence of alcohol in the blood causes instability in the body system that in effect weakens your nerves. People with higher alcohol consumption habit are certainly at the high risk of dementia apart from other nervous disorders. We have seen heavy drinkers unable to write for their shaky hands.     
6. Maintain BP and weight: Maintaining your BP and weight at the desired level can be a shot in the arm for preventing dementia. Both BP and weight go in sync with your brain’s general wellbeing.

Steps discussed so far aren’t really conclusive for preventing dementia.
