Walking, Diet May Delay Alzheimer's Onset | JQJO

A recent study suggests that up to 45% of dementia risk is linked to modifiable factors like diet and exercise. These boost BDNF, a protein crucial for brain health and cognitive function. Dr. Alexander Zubkov recommends 7,000-8,000 daily steps at a brisk pace, along with the MIND diet (combining Mediterranean and DASH diets) rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and polyphenols. While not preventing Alzheimer's entirely, these lifestyle changes can significantly delay symptom onset and progression, offering extra years of cognitive clarity.
