  • Apart from cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor management, there is good evidence that a healthy diet such as the Mediterranean diet or the MIND diet is important, as is physical activity, an evidence based medical food (eg Souvenaid), brain training programs, correcting hearing impairment, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, social engagement  and ensuring the patient has good quality sleep.
