   Maintaining A Healthy Lifestyle May Prevent Alzheimer's Disease, Study   
   HealthAug 22, 2015   
      
      
       
   Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder in which the death of brain   
   cells result to memory loss and cognitive decline.  This progressive mental   
   deterioration occurs most often during middle or old age, due to generalized   
   degeneration of the brain.    
    It is the most common cause of premature senility and a neurodegenerative   
   type of dementia which starts mild but progressively becomes worse.   
      
   Other factors that increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease would include low   
   education, obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, narrowing of the   
   carotid artery in the neck, smoking and even frailty.   
      
   Although there has been no known cure for Alzheimer's disease since the death   
   of brain cells in the dementia cannot be halted or reversed, studies show that   
   it may be preventable by living a healthy lifestyle and avoiding the above   
   risk factors pointed    
   out in the new research.   
      
   Effective management of any conditions which may occur alongside with   
   Alzheimer's must be prioritized.   
      
   Alzheimer's disease poses a heavy burden to an increasing number of elderly   
   people and their families as well, hence, President Obama has signed the   
   National Alzheimer's Project Act into Law last January, 2011 to raise public   
   awareness and engage the    
   public in confronting the challenges that it poses to our public health.    
   Along with an aim to improve research into prevention and treatment, the goals   
   of the plan also include measures for present intervention like enhancing care   
   quality and efficiency    
   of patients and extending support for people with Alzheimer's disease and   
   their families.   
      
   Aside from living a healthy lifestyle, individuals would benefit from   
   addressing the related potentially modifiable risk factors of Alzheimer's   
   disease.
