One in 10 Americans over 65 is living with Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\n

“It’s the most costly disease to our society right now. It exceeds cancer, it exceeds heart disease with regards to costs to society.”<\/p>\n

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease — only medications to help treat the symptoms. And, now, there is news about a drug that may slow the progression of the disease.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ronald Petersen says he’s cautiously optimistic about BAN2401, an antibody that reduced amyloid accumulated in the brain during clinical drug trials.<\/p>\n

“It was suggestive that this drug may, in fact, remove one of the toxic proteins from the brain that causes Alzheimer’s disease.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Petersen says while it was a complicated trial design, the research is encouraging.<\/p>\n

“It gives us a shot in the arm because there have been so many failures of major drug trials in the Alzheimer’s field in the last 10 years that when we see a positive signal like this moving in the right direction clinically and biologically, it’s encouraging.”<\/p>\n

For now, he recommends exercise for the body and mind, along with a heart-healthy diet. “There is a fair amount of evidence that exercise, aerobic exercise, maybe some resistance training, as well, can actually slow the progression or delay the onset of clinical symptoms.”<\/p>\n

Keeping intellectually active, staying socially involved and enjoying a Mediterranean diet – all ways Dr. Petersen says you can support brain health and possibly reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
