There is currently no way to stop the progression of most dementias -- including the most common kind, Alzheimer's disease. Yet there are many steps you can take to do to slow the progression of the disease into the later stages, maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce your risk. Research shows that there are real benefits to making lifestyle choices that can help you support your general health and well-being.
Whether you live with dementia or care for person living with dementia, there are ways to maintain a balanced lifestyle and increase your quality of life. A diagnosis of dementia does not remove your ability to appreciate and experience important things and meaningful activities that bring pleasure and contributes to your sense of well-being.
Taking action today can help pave the way for a healthier tomorrow, even if the change is small. This could look like moving your body throughout the day, staying socially engaged, or choosing a balanced diet. Positive lifestyle choices not only improve your quality of life now, but can significantly enhance your long-term health.
You have the power to make healthier choices that can help reduce your risk of dementia and other chronic conditions, making a difference for your future.
If you or a loved one is affected by dementia, you’re not alone. The Alzheimer Society of Canada provides valuable resources and support to individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. By reaching out for help, you can find the guidance and assistance you need to navigate the challenges of dementia while maintaining a fulfilling life.
