Alzheimer's disease, one of the most common forms of dementia, has been on rise in the past decades. In modern times, certain lifestyle habits are affecting our brain health and increasing the risk of Alzheimer's. Leading an inactive lifestyle, eating unhealthy, being lonely, and not getting adequate sleep are some of the common habits that could be 'shrinking' our brain.
Around 7 million people in the US are living with Alzheimer's and this number is projected to almost double by 2050, and rise to around 13 million. A leading cause of death for elderly, Alzheimer's disease is a growing concern that needs to be addressed.
