5 Steps to Lower Alzheimer’s Risk from
Harvard Medical School
Right now, there’s no proven way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease but
research into prevention strategies is ongoing. The strongest evidence
so far suggests that you may be able to lower your risk of Alzheimer’s
disease by reducing your risk of heart disease.
Good nutrition helps us live better no
matter what our age.
Harvard Medical School recommends following the five steps to
help you lower your risk for Alzheimer’s disease — and enhance
your overall health.
Maintain a healthy weight
Cut back on calories and increase physical activity if you need to shed some
pounds.
1
Check your waistline
To accurately measure your waistline, use a tape measure around the
narrowest portion of your waist (usually at the height of the navel and
lowest rib). A National Institutes of Health panel recommends waist
measurements of no more than 35 inches for women and 40 inches for
men.
2
Eat mindfully
Emphasize colorful, vitamin-packed vegetables and fruits; whole grains;
protein sources such as fish, lean poultry, tofu, and beans and other
legumes; plus healthy fats. Cut down on unnecessary calories from sweets,
sodas, refined grains like white bread or white rice, unhealthy fats, fried
and fast foods, and mindless snacking. Keep a close eye on portion sizes,
too.
3
Exercise regularly
This simple step does great things for your body. Regular physical activity
helps control weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol.
Moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise (walking, swimming, biking, rowing),
can also help chip away total body fat and abdominal fat over time. Aim for
2 1/2 to 5 hours weekly of brisk walking (at 4 mph). Or try a vigorous
exercise like jogging (at 6 mph) for half that time.
4
Keep an eye on important health numbers
In addition to watching your weight and waistline, ask your doctor whether
your cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and blood sugar are within
healthy ranges. Exercise, weight loss if needed, and medications
(if necessary) can help keep these numbers on target.

A National Institutes of Health panel recommends waist measurements of no more than 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men. 2

Cut down on unnecessary calories from sweets, sodas, refined grains like white bread or white rice, unhealthy fats, fried and fast foods, and mindless snacking. Keep a close eye on portion sizes, too. 3
  • 7. Exercise regularly This simple step does great things for your body. Regular physical activity helps control weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise (walking, swimming, biking, rowing), can also help chip away total body fat and abdominal fat over time. Aim for 2 1/2 to 5 hours weekly of brisk walking (at 4 mph). Or try a vigorous exercise like jogging (at 6 mph) for half that time. 4
