So it is useless to consume ibuprofen and the like, to avoid the disease :(

From my own research (ie googling), your best bet is to build up the brain, so if the decline starts, you have a stronger starting point. This means exercise[1], B12, folate, CDP-choline[2], turmeric[3], coconut oil (medium chain triglycerides) [4]. Also, I avoid paracetamol, there are some claims about it being linked to dementia. There are some promising drug trials (aducanumab for example), but we'll have to wait and see.

paracetamol is acetaminophen(Tylenol) for the Americans in the audience.
