What exactly is Alzheimer’s disease? 

This disease is actually a progressive brain disorder. As a general rule, it leads to memory loss and certain issues with behavior and thinking. The sad thing is that most people tend to think that Alzheimer’s is a natural part of aging.

Well, although Alzheimer’s disease affects mostly seniors, it doesn’t mean that younger people are out of trouble. Alzheimer’s Association notes that this disease is not a normal part of the aging process, and people should not believe that it affects only seniors.

According to the same Association, around 5 million people live with Alzheimer’s in the U.S., and, unfortunately, most don’t even know they have this disease.
