"Key Lifestyle Factors for Preventing Dementia Revealed by Health Experts"

TL;DR Summary
Professor Claire Steves of King's College London suggests that a 45-minute walk three times a week can significantly reduce the risk of dementia by bolstering cognitive function. Regular exercise helps build cognitive reserve, crucial for dealing with challenging situations, and the Mediterranean diet, rich in greens, seafood, nuts, and whole grains, is also beneficial for maintaining cognitive health. Additionally, research indicates that this diet can reduce dementia risk by 23% over nine years, even for those genetically predisposed to the condition.
