Alzheimer's disease: prevent it by reducing stress

Based on the results of the latest studies, doctors and researchers believe that Alzheimer's disease - a form of dementia unfortunately very common and still incurable - can be prevented in various ways.

Stress and anxiety control is one of them.

Indeed, having observed that stressful situations led to a worsening of the symptomatic picture of Alzheimer's patients (in particular memory capacities) has led scholars to consider the practice of mind-relaxing activities beneficial for the brain.

Specifically, the tips to control stress and moments of anxiety are:

  • Breathe deeply . Deep, abdominal breathing promotes brain oxygenation; oxygen is essential for cell life, especially the nerve cells located in the brain. If you breathe deeply for a few minutes and in the most intense moments of the day, it is easier to relax and "relax".
  • Find and plan activities that are relaxing . Dedicating yourself to something pleasant has undoubted anti-stress effects. There are no better activities than others; you just have to rely on your taste: some people find it relaxing to take the dog for a walk, walk through a park, practice yoga or meditation, take a hot bath, read a book in a secluded place, etc.
