5 things That May Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease

5. Alcohol

It is not clear yet if moderate alcohol consumption (red wine more specifically) has any effect in protecting against the development of dementia. Some studies suggest that people who drink one glass a day are better protected from dementia than those who don’t drink at all. But these are far from being conclusive since they were not performed on humans, and they should not be seen as a recommendation for alcohol consumption. The truth is that the risks of drinking alcohol regularly (even if in small doses) outweigh any potential benefits. But if you enjoy drinking a glass of red wine with dinner, it probably won’t hurt you much as long as you keep a generally healthy lifestyle.
