3- Eat Fish

According to a neurology-related study, people whose diets include great amounts of omega 3 fatty acids had decreased blood levels of beta-amyloid, which is a protein that deposits in the form of plaques in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.

In fact, fish oil can reduce the risk of brain lesions that lead to dementia by 26%.

Moreover, other studies have shown that the consumption of fish can slash the risk of heart disease, obesity, prostate cancer, arthritis, and type 2 diabetes.

4- Take a Daily Aspirin

However, studies have shown that this ultimate drug can also help prevent several types of cancer.

Taking a low-dose aspirin every day can slash the risk of deadly melanoma skin cancer and breast cancer by up to 30%, lung cancer by up to 62%, and colorectal cancers and gastrointestinal cancers by about 38%.

According to a Swedish study that included women between the ages of 70 and 92, aspirin could also help keep aging brains healthy.

5- Drink Green Tea

According to a Japanese research that studied over 40,000 individuals, drinking more than 3 cups of green tea on a daily basis can help you live longer.

During this study, those who drank tea the most, which is 5 or 6 cups per day, were the least likely to die in the following 11 years.

Both white and green teas are great sources of EGCG, a strong antioxidant associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, and several types of cancer.

Green tea also contains important antioxidant compounds called Catechins that can also safeguard aging eyes against glaucoma.
