Although pharmacological treatments are key in the management of Alzheimer's disease, there are still differences in their approval and application worldwide, and progress needs to be continuously monitored. Individualized interventions after diagnosis are particularly important, taking into account the patient's living, family and care-giving situation. Psycho-social support from family carers should also not be overlooked to reduce their burden.

In terms of diet, although there are no specific recipes that can directly prevent Alzheimer's disease, a healthy dietary pattern is essential to reduce the risk. It is recommended to follow the Chinese Balanced Diet Pagoda or the Mediterranean Diet, consume more dark colored vegetables and fruits, control the intake of fats and salt, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes, which are potential factors for cognitive decline.

In addition to diet, brain exercise is crucial. Encourage older adults to participate in novel, challenging and enjoyable activities such as number games, puzzles, card games and even cognitive training games on computers. At the same time, developing hobbies such as calligraphy and gardening can enrich life and stimulate brain function. Finger manipulation is a simple and easy way to exercise, through hand-eye-brain co-ordination, which helps to slow down the decline of brain nerve cells.

Physical exercise is also indispensable. Appropriate physical activities such as walking and Tai Chi can not only control weight, but also improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of cognitive disorders. In addition, maintaining adequate social activities and strengthening ties with friends and family can help maintain the activity of brain nerve cells.
