Lower your stress levels
Persistent stress can take a toll on the brain, and research indicates that chronic stress can accelerate Alzheimer’s disease. When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone linked to memory trouble. In addition, researchers have found that stress can lead to conditions such as depression and anxiety—which also ups the risk for dementia.
“Eliminating stress helps reduce the amount of cortisol and optimizes glucose utilization, which your brain needs for food,” says Dr. Devi.

Thank you for this information, I’ll start walking today!
I don’t believe the experts any more. My husband was very active. Using the gym, riding his bike, walking, dancing, swimming, etc. Also did some reading. His brother and sister were the opposit. All three had similar jobs. All three got Alzheimer at age 78 and died at 82.
How very disheartening! My mom in law had it;p my hubby is okay—but I worry about my daughter who is 68 and has all of her nanny traits! What can she do? Her dad (89( is okay and so am I so far. What can one do?

Hasn’t anyone read the most current info regarding this? Not that anyone has the TRUTH, but the signs are that this horrifying disease skips a generation. Since my Mom, her sister, great uncle, great aunt and countless cousins died from complications caused by Alzheimers, I pray for my nieces and nephews and for a cure.
