Advanced dementia makes you forget everything. But you can reduce your risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Lifestyle plays an important role. Coffee in moderation may protect against age-related mental decline. High blood pressure, diabetes or other diseases that affect the heart should therefore be treated as early as possible. The Alzheimer's Society Baden-Württemberg recommends: "Especially contact with children is a real "fountain of youth" for the brain!"
