I think that lifestyle may not be decisive. Drug therapy is promising.
The pharmacological treatments for AD can be divided into two categories: symptomatic treatments such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists and etiology-based treatments such as secretase inhibitors, amyloid binders, and tau therapies.

Curcumin (significant literature) and oxygen therapy (drinking oxygenated water) are good for Alzheimer's disease
