True or False:
Red wine and grape juice can help reverse Alzheimer's.
False
No vitamin, supplement, food, or drug has been shown to cure or treat Alzheimer's.
One promising antioxidant, resveratrol, is found in red grapes. But resveratrol also could wind up like vitamin E, vitamin C, ginkgo biloba, B vitamins, and coenzyme Q10. All carried similar hopes at one time or another, but none has been proved to prevent or slow the disease, much less reverse it.
Research suggests your best bet is a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts to help protect your brain. There’s no silver bullet.

If one of your parents has Alzheimer's, you'll probably get it, too.
False
Less than 5% of cases are true "familial Alzheimer's," a type that runs in families. Your genes do play a role, though. If you have a parent or sibling with Alzheimer's, you’ll have a higher chance of getting it. That’s something you can’t change.

When does Alzheimer's start?
20+ years before memory loss
epeating yourself, getting lost, and showing fuzzy thinking skills all show up after the process of Alzheimer's has already begun in the brain. Researchers believe the disease may start to cause physical changes years or decades before symptoms appear.
It's normal to forget a meeting. It's a warning sign if you forget many or forget big events or where you are. Normal is misplacing your keys. Not normal is putting the keys somewhere odd, like the oven, or accusing your spouse of stealing them.

What is the best way to protect your brain?
Learning a new skill
Experts don’t know if doing mental work can prevent Alzheimer's. But it may help build brainpower that helps you hold off memory loss. It's better to learn new things than to fall into old habits. It's also better to work out your brain every day.
Also key to protecting brain health: Daily exercise and a busy social life.
