    Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that begins with memory loss and can eventually lead to the inability to respond to one's environment as neurons are injured and die throughout the brain, breaking connections between neural networks and causing brain regions to shrink significantly. While there is no cure for Alzheimer's, some drugs can help treat symptoms, and lifestyle habits like not smoking, limiting alcohol, eating healthy, and exercising daily may help prevent the disease and cognitive decline.
