Millions of Americans turn to sleeping pills or some sort of sedative to help them get better sleep each evening.

Earlier this year, the Alzheimer’s Association released their latest facts and figures. In that report, one of the most startling takeaways was that women were at a substantially higher risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease.

Through various studies we’ve learned that depression is a serious symptom for those living with Alzheimer’s disease as well as for their caregivers. Researchers continue to seek new ways to lessen the many symptoms associated with the disease. A new study just released shows that training in mindfulness — learning
Research into Alzheimer’s disease continues to show that improved health habits and exercise can help lessen the chances of getting the disease. New research published in the journal, Neurology, reports that older adults who are severely deficient in vitamin D may be more than twice as likely to develop dementia
Could one 40-year-old-man lead to a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s disease research? Researchers are greatly interested in learning more about this particular gentleman and the rare condition that he has. This condition involves the lack of protein called apolipoprotein E gene (apoE4). Experts know that a mutation of this particular gene
Often we are reminded of the challenges faced by those living with Alzheimer’s disease, those that are caring for someone living with the disease and of the significant increases in people diagnosed with the disease.

Caregivers play one of the most essential roles after a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Far too often these caregivers are overstressed, lacking sleep while attempting to juggle multiple life challenges. However, recent progress has been made in taking care of the caretakers.

A few months back word came that scientists were doing studies on a simple blood test that could determine if someone had Alzheimer’s disease. There were a significant amount of questions on the test, its reliability and if this type of testing would ever be readily available. According to a
There really is no debate that Alzheimer’s awareness and research is at an all time high. June was Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness month with much of the push being centered around gaining more awareness of the disease. We recently saw comedian Seth Rogen on Capitol Hill pleading for more funding
Researchers across the world are finding new ways in which to tackle the very difficult challenge of new and innovative testing which might lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. We’ve heard of recent large scale testing in regards to amyloid protein which is a hallmark of those living with Alzheimer’s disease. What
The Alzheimer’s Association recently moved Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness month from September to June. They’ve also altered the name of the month to give further awareness not only to Alzheimer’s disease, but also other brain related diseases. There are many goals they hope to accomplish.

The month of June brings the first annual Alzheimer’s and brain awareness month. The idea is to bring awareness to Alzheimer’s disease and how you can make a difference. Just this past week, a major study began to see if an experimental drug can protect healthy seniors whose brains show
Doctors have released numerous studies throughout the years showing how important getting a good night’s rest is for your body. We’ve heard about the many health benefits, but there has never been a study showing a link between a lack of sleep and an increased potential of getting Alzheimer’s disease.
As more Americans are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease each year, more myths about symptoms of the disease and how it progresses are mentioned often. Part of the issue right now in our society is the lack of knowledge about the disease and how to help those that have been recently
Everyone knows Alzheimer’s disease and dementia cases are significantly on the rise across the world.

As Americans age in this country, caregiving for loved ones is becoming much more of an issue especially for employers. Today, seven out of 10 caregivers work full- or part-time.

A study completed by the University of Michigan of Americans over 50 and their spouses over the span of ten years found that as cognition declines for the “financial decision maker,” money management is eventually turned over to his (or her) “cognitively intact” spouse.
