وَتَنْصَحُ الْإِرْشَادَاتُ بِالنَّشَاطِ الْبَدَنِيِّ الْمُنْتَظَمِ، وَتَرْكِ التَّدْخِينِ، وَتَقْلِيلِ شُرْبِ الْكُحُولِ، وَتَنَاوُلِ طَعَامٍ صِحِّيٍّ. كَمَا تَدْعُو إِلَى النَّشَاطِ الِاجْتِمَاعِيِّ، وَاسْتِعْمَالِ أَجْهِزَةِ السَّمْعِ عِنْدَ الْحَاجَةِ، وَعِلَاجِ ضَغْطِ الدَّمِ الْمُرْتَفِعِ، وَالسُّكَّرِيِّ، وَارْتِفَاعِ الْكُولِيسْتِرُولِ. وَأَضَافَتْ نَصِيحَةً جَدِيدَةً بِتَقْلِيلِ التَّعَرُّضِ لِتَلَوُّثِ الْهَوَاءِ.
وَيَعِيشُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ سَبْعَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ مِلْيُونَ شَخْصٍ مَعَ الْخَرَفِ فِي الْعَالَمِ. وَلَا يُوجَدُ حَالِيًّا عِلَاجٌ شَافٍ لِلْخَرَفِ، وَلَكِنَّ هٰذِهِ الْخُطُوَاتِ قَدْ تُسَاعِدُ النَّاسَ عَلَى حِفْظِ صِحَّةِ الدِّمَاغِ مُدَّةً أَطْوَلَ.

WHO Issues Updated Guidelines to Reduce Dementia Risk
On July 15, the World Health Organization issued updated guidelines to reduce the risk of dementia. The organization said that up to 45 percent of dementia risks are linked to factors that can be changed.
The guidelines recommend regular physical activity, stopping smoking, drinking less alcohol, and eating healthy food. They also call for social activity, using hearing aids when needed, and treating high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. The guidelines add new advice to reduce exposure to air pollution.
More than 57 million people worldwide live with dementia. There is currently no cure for dementia, but these steps may help people maintain brain health for longer.
