    Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disorder that causes impairment of intellectual functioning. It gradually destroys the ability to reason, remember, imagine, and learn. About 3% of people ages 65-74 and nearly half of those over 85 may have Alzheimer's, with around 360,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the US. Common early signs include memory loss, difficulty performing tasks, misplacing things, mood and personality changes, and problems with abstract thinking. Diagnosis involves psychiatric assessments, mental exams, neurological tests, EEGs, and CSF examinations. Some foods like green vegetables, nuts, fish, and cocoa may help prevent Alzheimer's by reducing amyloid plaques through nutrients like vitamin E and DHA.
