Reader's Digest/Alzheimer's Association survey reveals how Americans view brain health
|
A new survey from Reader’s Digest and the Alzheimer’s Association reveals that many Americans don’t prioritize brain health compared with other aspects of well-being, and don’t realize certain lifestyle habits can lower their risk of cognitive decline. For example, only 5 percent of people surveyed consider their brain when trying to eat healthy and only 62 percent realize that smoking affects their risk of cognitive decline. The Alzheimer's Association recently released 10 Ways to Love Your Brain, tips that may reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
