Don’t be a couch potato when you hit midlife if you want to have a clear mind in your later years. Exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight during middle age are associated with lower risks for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in later years, suggest numerous studies. Researchers stress that they have not shown a clear cause-effect relationship. Increased risks may be partly related to other factors like diabetes that affect many who are obese or overweight. Other risk factors to avoid are high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
