Long before the tell-tale signs of Parkinson’s disease appear, including tremors and muscle stiffness, there are other, more subtle signs of the disease.
These include changes in oral pronunciation and language and difficulties breathing or swallowing.
People with Alzheimer’s disease can also experience a reduction in their vocabulary and a tendency to repeat certain words. These also appear well before there is clear memory loss.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising overlap between cancer genetics and Alzheimer’s disease, involving mutations in the brain’s immune cells.
As we age, our cells quietly collect genetic mutations—most of them harmless, some potentially dangerous. But what if the same kinds of mutations that fuel cancer are also shaping diseases of the brain?

We’ve long known that healthy eating is linked to better brain health.
Now there’s even more evidence, just published in the journal JAMA Network Open, that an anti-inflammatory diet may play an important role in reducing dementia risk — even among people already at higher biological risk for the condition.
What did this study find? What exactly is an anti-inflammatory diet? And what practical steps can people take to keep their brains healthy as they age?
To help with these questions, I spoke with CNN wellness expert Dr. Leana Wen. Wen is an emergency physician and clinical associate professor at George Washington University. She previously was Baltimore’s health commissioner.
