142
Nutrition and HA
-reduces risk of cronic disease and improves cognitive and metal health -some studies show medetteranian diet result in lower dementia -isolated vitamin deficiencies associated w cognitive disorders -adequate intake of protein, fiber, vitamin D and omega 3-FA
143
caloric restriction
-caloric restriction controversially shown to benefit cognitive aging but NOT reccomendd for older adults
144
Managing Stress
-chronic stress and high allostatic load speed up aging and raise the risk of age-related diseases -managing stress, encouraging healthy behaviours and reducing psychological responses can help lower allostatic load promoting HA
145
Stressor affects
percieved stress affects behavioural response and individual differences to both affect physiological response which affects allostatic load
