3 Simple Steps to Reducing Your Risk of Congnitive Decline

 

There are lots of scary health issues for us to worry about as we get older. Cancer, heart disease, stroke, joint replacements, hearing and vision loss are probably on everybody's list. But for me, the #1 fear is cognitive decline. I have a family history of Alzheimer's so every time I misplace my car keys it is grist for a minor panic. Some memory issues are just a part of growing older. But what can we do to at least reduce our risk of something much more serious?

As it turns out there are several things we can do. Unfortunately none of them are the pill that most people seem to want.

 

Here are three really simple lifestyle factors that researchers agree will reduce your personal risk of Alzheimer's and other age related cognitive problems. None of them are complicated, you don't have to buy anything. But they will take some effort on your part. (Sorry.) And the sooner you start the better.
