1. Could healthy living actually reduce your chance of developing Alzheimer's? The researchers behind today's study believe it can.

4. They say just sitting on the sofa is one of the biggest risk factors for you to develop Alzheimer's.

研究人員說(shuō)，坐沙發(fā)是你患老年癡呆癥最大的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素之一。

5. Other risks: Not surprisingly smoking, if you have high blood pressure, if you overweight or have diabetes, they believe that your risk is greater.

其他風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素有：吸煙（這并不令人驚訝），如果你有高血壓，體重超重或者肥胖，研究人員認(rèn)為你患老年癡呆癥的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較大。

6. If the researchers are right, this list of seven risk factors really do play a big role in developing Alzheimer's. Then there is a reason to hope.

如果研究人員說(shuō)的對(duì)，那么這7種風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素確實(shí)在老年癡呆癥產(chǎn)生中起大的作用。然而，我們還有理由抱有希望。

7. The researchers say if everybody reduces the risk factors by 25%, smoking 25% less, exercise 25% more, then half a million new cases of Alzheimer's could be prevented. 

研究人員說(shuō)，如果每個(gè)人減少25%的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素，減少25%的吸煙，增加25% 的鍛煉，那么100萬(wàn)老年癡呆癥的新發(fā)病例中有一半可以得到預(yù)防。

8. So the message tonight: throw out those cigarettes, reach for the cross-word and get off that couch. It's good for your body today, and possibly for your mind tomorrow. 

因此，這就是今晚的信息：扔掉香煙，盡力玩填字游戲，不坐沙發(fā)，這樣今天對(duì)你身體有益，明天可能對(duì)你大腦有益。
