There's good research out there which says that being in a high state of physical fitness results in a 40% decrease in risk of Alzheimer's. 40% is a big number. There's also preliminary research indicating that some intestinal biomes make us much more resistant to Alzheimer's. That has to do with birth method, breast feeding, diet, and exercise. Fecal transplants may be in our future. Pig farmers are doing already that as a matter of course. But as it is said, "Hope is the fatal flaw."
