The Importance of Lifestyle Habits in Mitigating Neurodegenerative Disorder Risks

Whatever we do, we cannot stop aging with our current capabilities. Our genes program aging.

However, we can significantly lower the risks of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s by leveraging healthy lifestyle habits. The earlier we start, the better.

Apart from various dementia types like Alzheimer’s, there are also common neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, Korsakoff’s Syndrome, and Motor Neuron Diseases such as ALS.

Nevertheless, these disorders are not as across-the-board as dementia. They mainly affect memory.

The risks for neurodegenerative disorders substantially increase as we get older. Thus, developing the habits in younger years can pay the dividend in older ages.
