I heard many things that stood out to me, but the one that replayed in my mind over and over again was the point about Alzheimer’s. Daniel Amen said,” Did you know that Alzheimer’s disease actually starts in the brain 30 to 50 years before you have any symptoms.” That one fact stood out to me because I did some research on the disease and it’s found that the average age of people who have Alzheimer’s is 65 or older. When you look at it that way it kind of hits you. For example, let’s say a 65-year-old has the disease, they could have been 35 to 40 years old and without even knowing it they have a trace of Alzheimer’s. That is a very young age and you can’t really do anything to prevent Alzheimer’s.
