August 12/London/The Mirror -- The risk of Alzheimer's falls sharply with a Mediterranean diet, a study has shown, and a little exercise makes the odds even better. A diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruit, fish, cereals and monounsaturated fats such as olive oil can slash the risk of developing Alzheimer's by 40%.
Furthermore, medics say that can be boosted to as much as 60% if it is combined with regular exercise.
