The 6 lifestyle changes that could prevent Alzheimer's following Fiona Phillips diagnosis
06.07.2023 - 14:31 / ok.co.uk
Earlier this week, presenter and journalist Fiona Phillips made the shocking announcement that she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's at 62. Fiona, who also lost her mother and father to the disease, revealed that she was told the news last year. She decided to go public as she wants to use her platform to raise awareness of Alzheimer's and Dementia.
Her announcement comes as an estimated 55 million people live with dementia worldwide - and experts believe that figure is set to increase at a rapid rate. So much so, they estimate that by 2050, 139 million will be diagnosed with the disease.The reason for this rise links to the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer’s and dementia – old age. Which explains why in the UK, the disease affects twice as many women compared to men, with women outliving men by approximately 5 years.
Other common causes of the disease, which primarily impacts memory and behaviour, can include family history, head injuries, and lifestyle factors and conditions associated with cardiovascular disease. But despite these statistics, there are lifestyle changes we can make to reduce our risk of Alzheimer’s and thankfully, experts say it’s never too late to start. Here’s how to stay healthy and reduce the risks… REGULAR EXERCISE Simply moving your body is considered one of the most effective ways to lower the chance of Alzheimer’s.
Both aerobic and strength-training exercises benefit brain health by supporting metabolic and vascular health and thereby reducing the risk of anxiety and depression. Exercise is essential because it influences autophagy, a vital cellular self-cleaning process to eliminate metabolic waste and unwanted proteins. Cells can become dysfunctional without autophagy functioning properly
