An increasing number of clinical and animal studies have confirmed that acupuncture is an effective treatment for treating Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer’s disease - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Stages, Types, Prevention, Prognosis & Treatment
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting memory and thinking and making the person increasingly dependent on others.

The pre-moxibustion group was treated with moxibustion for eight courses (each course lasting for 6 days) prior to the exposure and 14 days after Aβ1 exposure. Results showed no evidence of apoptosis in hippocampal neurons, a significantly reduced apoptosis rate of neurons and improved learning and memory abilities were observed in the Alzheimer's disease model.
In particular, moxibustion prior to Aβ1 exposure was more effective than moxibustion after Aβ1 exposure in protecting the neuronal structure and lowering the apoptosis rate. Their findings, published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 30, 2013), indicate that a combination of preventive and therapeutic moxibustion has a beneficial effect for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease development.
Risk Factors for Alzheimers Disease
Cognitively normal adults exhibiting atrophy of their temporal lobe or damage to blood vessels in the brain are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

Does Obesity in Old Age Cause Memory Problems?
The American Academy of Neurology have confirmed that being overweight in old age does not lead to memory problems but contributes to high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
