The Alzheimer’s Association has announced new lifestyle steps that may help lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This comes during Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of brain health.
Alzheimer’s is a brain disease affecting memory and thinking. The association says age is a major risk factor, as the US population is aging. Adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and good sleep may delay or reduce the odds of developing the disease.
Bill Crockett shared his experience after losing his wife to Alzheimer’s, emphasizing the importance of community support. A family history of Alzheimer’s in an immediate relative is also a strong link to the disease. The association encourages those with a family history to stay informed and consider lifestyle changes to mitigate risks.
