(HealthDay News) -- Alzheimer's disease has no cure, and there's no surefire way to prevent it.
But research has shown there are some activities that may help delay its onset. The National Women's Health Resource Center offers these suggestions:
- Get regular physical exercise.
- Participate in mentally stimulating activities such as playing cards, chess, a musical instrument, or doing crossword puzzles.
- Eat a diet rich in antioxidants with plenty of fruits and vegetables, nuts and fish such as salmon, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Stay at a healthy body weight. People who are overweight may be more likely to develop the disease.
