How can i stop dementia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Are you referring to preventing dementia decades in the future or right now? I’m general maintaining good metabolic health (blood sugar, cholesterol, pressure), exercising, and eating a healthful Mediterranean diet is a good first step.

Depending upon cause, if Alzheimer’s, you might modestly slow but not cure. Some causes are reversible. Good health is helpful but again not the total answer. In the end, you cannot live forever unscathed.
