According to experts in the United States, a combination of some form of brain training, controlling blood pressure, and exercise, could well reduce mental decline in old age, thus reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s-type dementia.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have released a new report stating that there’s encouraging, but inconclusive, evidence to support these three interventions for optimal brain health.
Alan Leshner is chair for the committee and CEO emeritus of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and believes that the “evidence is strong enough” that members of the public should be informed about the results of the study in order to inform their decisions about how best to maintain their brain health as they age.
