Experts have named five everyday habits that can reduce the risk of developing dementia. According to WHO estimates, by 2050 the number of patients with cognitive impairment may increase to more than 131 million people.

Alzheimer's disease is one form of dementia. Employees of the Penn Memory Center note that the risk of its development is higher in those who abuse alcohol. Drinking more than one serving of hard drinks a day poses a health risk. Exercise also helps minimize the risk of dementia.

Inactivity is associated with cardiovascular diseases, which in turn increase the likelihood of dementia. It is important not to exceed the recommended level of exercise, which depends on the shape of the person.

Quitting smoking will protect against dementia in the future, and tobacco also provokes the development of a number of other health problems, including cancer, becoming a factor in premature death.

To protect yourself from dementia, it is recommended to monitor your diet and maintain a normal weight, avoiding obesity.
