Question: What can I do to reduce my risk of developing Alzheimer's?

Dr. Amen's Answer:

Studies have shown that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, reduce the risk. So does low-dose aspirin, although to a lesser degree. Structured activities also delay the progression of Alzheimer's, and regular exercise probably helps as well.
