Alzheimer’s disease is more than memory loss — it’s a type of dementia that affects not only memory, but also thought and behavior. Symptoms are mild at first and worsen over time. Though the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are age 65 and older, an estimated 200,000 people under the age of 65 have early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Although you can’t change your genetics, researchers do believe you can decrease you likelihood of Alzheimer’s by reducing your risk of chronic inflammation. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels are good ways to start.
