Eating healthy, being socially active and solving puzzles can help prevent depression. Neurologist Kavita Awasthi spoke about this in an interview with Moneycontrol. The doctor gave a list of the main factors that improve health.
According to the neurologist, a diet containing nutritious foods has a positive effect on brain health. So the first piece of advice is to eat healthy food. Kavita Awasthi recommends the Mediterranean diet. In this case, fruits, vegetables, whole grains (oats, brown rice and wheat), fish and healthy fats (olive oil, avocado and nuts) are eaten.
Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are associated with a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, said the doctor. Regular physical activity can prevent illness. Exercise also helps improve blood circulation in the brain and the growth of new cells.
According to a neurologist, creativity, puzzles or new activities are good for preventing depression. Solving different puzzles, such as crosswords and Sudoku, will improve cognitive skills.
Low social functioning has a negative impact on a person’s mental health. Therefore, Kavita Awasthi recommends communicating regularly with loved ones to avoid feelings of loneliness. In addition, communication keeps the brain active because it involves cognitive activity.
Quality sleep reduces the risk of neurodegenerative diseases and has a direct impact on brain health. During sleep, the brain cleanses itself of toxins that accumulate during the day, and also processes information received during the day.
Meditation and different breathing techniques reduce anxiety and improve overall emotional state. They help reduce stress and improve the cognitive functions of the brain.
Regular medical examination and treatment of chronic diseases is important. For example, advanced diabetes and hypertension can have a significant impact on the development of dementia. Medical examinations can detect health problems at an early stage. After the medical examination, the doctor will be able to create an individual program for the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.
