Alzheimer's disease usually occurs after the age of 70, but due to poor lifestyle and stress, people below the age of 40 are also falling victim to this disease. India ranks third when it comes to people suffering from Alzheimer's. Women are more susceptible to falling victim to Alzheimer's than men. 7 out of 10 women suffer from Alzheimer's. Anger, irritability and gradually forgetting about small things daily are the initial symptoms of the disease. If you identify these symptoms at the correct time and practice yoga, then you will be able to eliminate this disease from the root.
