- Consume a low-fat diet.
- Reduce intake of linoleic acid found in margarine, butter, and dairy products.
- Eat cold-water fish (tuna, salmon, and mackerel) rich in omega-3 fatty acids, at least two to three times a week.
- Increase the intake of antioxidants like carotenoids, Vitamin E and Vitamin C that are found in dark-colored fruits and vegetables.
- Maintain normal blood pressure.
- Avoid exposure to aluminum. Aluminum is found in drinking water, processed cheese, baking powder, antacids, anti-diarrhea preparations, antiperspirants, food cooked in aluminum utensils and coffee made in aluminum-containing percolators. Aluminum cans and aluminum-coated wax containers can also transfer significant quantities of metal to beverages in them.
- Stay mentally and socially active throughout your life. Mental and social activities may help delay the onset or slow the progression of dementia.
