Scientists are finding that modern habits might be making it more likely for people to get this disease.
Things like not moving around much, eating unhealthy foods, not getting enough sleep, and being stressed can hurt the brain.
The good news is that changing these habits, like exercising, eating better, sleeping well, and managing stress, can help protect the brain and possibly prevent or slow down Alzheimer's.
