A study says that scientists have shown that healthy lifestyle choices like not smoking, exercising and healthy eating could lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Medicines Meant to Treat Alzheimers Found to be Good for Victims of Dementia
Cholinesterase inhibitors, that help victims of Alzheimer's disease can also assist in the management of behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, a new study has shown.

As the researchers expected, healthy eating, not smoking and exercising regularly were related to better self-perceived memory abilities for most adult groups. Reports of memory problems also increased with age. However, there were a few surprises.
"These findings reinforce the importance of educating young and middle-aged individuals to take greater responsibility for their health -- including memory -- by practicing positive lifestyle behaviors earlier in life," said the study's first author Dr. Gary Small, director of the UCLA Longevity Center. He is also professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA.
