🚨 RESEARCHER ALERT: New Alzheimer's Disease MRI Staging Proposed An individualized brain atrophy score (BAS) for disease staging correlates with dementia severity and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, enhancing precision in AD management and early risk stratification. 📰https://buff.ly/wPtNYMR

New research shows that exercise can help fight Alzheimer's disease by boosting a process called autophagy, which clears out damaged and dying cells. By combining exercise with natural products, we might find even better ways to manage or prevent Alzheimer's. 🧠 Did you walk today? buff.ly/yQbtLaG

🚨 Groundbreaking 3-year study just dropped: This Diet may have STOPPED progression of Alzheimer's Participants following the MIND Diet (leafy greens, berries, nuts, healthy meats, olive oil) showed stable plasma Aβ42/40 levels — while the usual-diet group had a significant 2.8% decline.
