Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases - March 2009 A new synthesis of medical research reveals good news for those who thought that neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are genetically determined and can not be avoided. In fact, the research shows that genetics plays a minor role -- if any -- in the overwhelming majority of cases. Far more important are environmental factors, including diet, exercise, exposure to environmental chemicals, air pollution, and socio-economic stress. By modifying these risks, the odds for delaying or preventing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's can be greatly improved. |
