Over 6.5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, most of them cared for by family and friends. It’s estimated that 11.2 million Americans are providing over 15.3 billion hours of unpaid care to their loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
What can we do to prevent Alzheimer’s or age-related cognitive decline? While there is no definitive answer to that question, there is growing evidence that a healthy lifestyle can delay, slow, or even prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
