Changes in the lifestyle MAY offer some potential for avoiding or forestalling mental deterioration. Not sure if the research says it will work for all because if it was so, more emphasis on whatever seemed to be working would be BIG time news.
Becoming accustomed to different ways to eat, exercise, think, isn't always easy for many individuals and could be even more difficult in senior years. There are always conflicting reports that pop up confusing people even more. Is a high carb diet good? Is a high protein diet good? Is it better to be lean or a tad heavier as we age? Is intense exercise good or bad, will walking be as beneficial as running for heart health? It's not as easy as one would imagine.
We all do what we feel is the best for us as individuals....some agree with our choices and applaud us; some might not see why others don't or won't follow what is thought to be the "best" way to live. The human "condition" will never be perfect....genetics, environmental conditions, evolution just don't/won't let it be so.
