The Healthy Aging

Current research shows that a healthy diet and physically active lifestyle can decrease your risks of Alzheimer's disease, which is one of the most feared of health conditions of the elderly. It is also a well known fact that avoiding weight gain may help because eight gain lead to insulin resistance and diabetes, which can cause brain cells to die earlier resulting in memory loss and dementia. The Alzheimer's Association suggests these steps to insure your healthy aging: 1. Lose the excessive fat if you have some. 2. Exercise to help keep normal insulin sensitivity. 3. Eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and fish. The Zone, South Beach, Sonoma, Mayo Clinic, and Mediterranean diets all incorporate these elements of healthy lifestyle.
