Alzheimer’s Disease: Can it be prevented?

Alzheimer’s disease is an age-related brain disease that over time diminishes a person’s memory and cognitive thinking skills. Alzheimer’s disease can eventually lead to Dementia, which entails a loss of memory and cognitive thinking skills so great that daily life and activities become almost impossible. Age, genetics, environment and lifestyle are the risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and though Alzheimer’s disease seems untreatable and unpreventable, there are lifestyle changes that can help as well as modern medicine and therapy that slow the deterioration of the brain.
