But the researchers also discovered that people who followed the MIND diet more closely over 10 years, even if they weren't super consistent at the start of the study, had a 25 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those who stopped adhering as much to the eating plan over time.

Getting from A to B on a bicycle more often could reduce risk of dementia, possibly by protecting a part of the brain tied to memory functions, new research finds. A study carried out by researchers from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China and the University of Sydney backs up the idea that frequent amounts of moderate exercise and keeping the brain busy can guard against neurodegeneration.

Adopting the MIND diet, even later in life, is associated with a reduced risk of developing dementia. As the U.S. population grows older and dementia cases continue to rise, many people are wondering: can anything be done to prevent this devastating disease?

Younger-onset dementia affects an estimated 110 out of every 100,000 people, and having these health conditions can increase your odds.
