How can I reduce my risk of developing Alzheimer's disease?

There is some evidence that the following strategies may help although the available research into them is limited:

  • Eat more fish.
  • Do more physical exercise.
  • Engage in mentally stimulating activities, such as crosswords and Scrabble. 
  • Take antioxidants, such as vitamin E (500 IU per day) and C (500 mg per day).
  • Take folate (0.5 mg per day). 
  • Take Ginkgo biloba.
