Drinking several full glasses of liquids like water, healthy shakes and smoothies are believed to be very effective to reduce few symptoms. Patients with Alzheimer’s must avoid fatty foods like butter, meats, beverages with caffeine, which can increase restlessness, interfere with sleep and trigger the frequent need to urinate.

Be Physically Active

Pick an activity you enjoy dancing with music. Walk while you talk, use a portable phone or wireless headset and walk around the house as you carry on conversations. Vary your walking workout by climbing the stairs at home or work. Even short amounts of extra stair-climbing improve cardiovascular health. Start out by adding just one or two extra trips up the stairs each day, then increase.

Keep Moving Your Body Parts

If you do desk work, like working in front of a computer,  just roll your shoulders and stretch your neck when sitting in front of the computer. Stay fit in the kitchen, vacuum or wash the floor more often when you can’t be active outside. Simply be active for 10 minutes a day can improve your heart-lung function and blood circulation, reduce the risk of developing some chronic diseases later in life.

Exercise Regularly

For people with Alzheimer, physical exercise should be continued for as long as possible as it would help to prevent muscle weakness and other health complications.
