A)Evidence demonstrates that cognitive activities such as reading, completing puzzles, and learning new information or tasks build cognitive resilience and protect against cognitive decline. There is some evidence to suggest that the heart-healthy diets that include antioxidant- and polyphenol-rich foods such as tea, cocoa, grapes, and colorful fruits and vegetables may interrupt formation of amyloid plaques and prevent AD. Social engagement may improve cognitive function and have some protective effects against AD. Modest levels of exercise have been demonstrated to improve cognitive function. Moderate alcohol consumption may be protective against AD. However, evidence is insufficient to suggest that individuals who do not already drink should start drinking.
