Aunque no existe una forma comprobada de prevenir el mal de Alzheimer, existen algunas prácticas que vale la pena incorporar en la rutina diaria, particularmente si usted tiene antecedentes familiares de demencia. Hable con el médico acerca de cualquiera de estas propuestas, especialmente aquellas que implican tomar medicamentos o suplementos.
