Alzheimer's Prevention

Abstract :

This video discusses a study that has measured the level of beta amyloid in the brains of people over 65 who were previously interviewed about their brain-stimulating activities (past or present). The result is that having intellectual activities could slow down or postpone the Alzheimer's disease.

Quotation :

"Keeping your brain healthy as you get older may be more fun than you think ! More than five million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and another person develops it every minute. It's important to take steps early in life to prevent this common disease."
