Thread: Alzheimer's Disease

Yes Alzheimer's diease is passed down by genes. If you're parents don't have the disease you're unlikely to have the disease.

Unlikely, but still a possibility, so don't rule it out. Keep an eye out for it.

I read an article about new scientific facts that help ppl with alztheimer in Scientific American.
It said that we all lose parts of memory from an early age , but we are not aware of it because we use only a bit of our memory.
However in early ages , this continuous loss reaches the part we usually use , therefore , we forget.
The best way to fight it is to force the brain to produce new memory cells, by trying to "exercise" this part of our brain.
A simple , yet very effective way to do this , is to solve crosswords , or writing a diary.

I don't remember in which month's Scientific American i read it , but i'll look it out and i'll post again.
