Chris Hemsworth Alzheimer’s test result turned his life around

Chris Hemsworth has made significant changes to his lifestyle subsequent to the realization that he may possess a susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease. The renowned Hollywood actor, aged 40, was confronted with this unexpected diagnosis following a genetic examination conducted during the airing of the National Geographic documentary series titled Limitless with Chris Hemsworth in the previous year. The examination unveiled that he possesses two copies of the APOE e4 gene, which has been associated with an elevated likelihood of developing this incapacitating ailment.

‘You’re constantly thinking you’re going to live forever, especially as a young individual. Then to be told that this might be the thing that might take you out was like, whoa—it kinda floored me,’ Hemsworth said on the show.

Following the test, Chris made changes to his already extensive workout routines and now focuses more on his brain health.

In an interview with Men’s Health, he said he was ‘incorporating more solitude into his life.’

‘I’ve always been pretty consistent with my exercise commitments, but lately I’ve really felt the importance of taking time for yourself without any outside voice or stimulation and making time for stillness,’ explained.

The actor who portrays Thor expressed that although exercise routines hold significance, his primary focus lies on engaging in mindfulness practices.

In the previous year, Hemsworth has implemented modifications to his fitness routine as well.

‘My weight fluctuates a lot due to differing roles and also my own interests in regards to challenging my body in different ways,’ he said.

‘I’m lifting less frequently than I was and I’m incorporating more cardio and endurance workouts which I much prefer than heavy body building style sessions.’

In the film “Limitless” featuring Chris Hemsworth, Dr. Peter Attia proposed that engaging in regular exercise and obtaining sufficient sleep are imperative in reducing the likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease manifestation.

Furthermore, he recommended the utilization of saunas, as well as maintaining proper oral hygiene through regular brushing and flossing, alongside engaging in activities that enhance mental acuity.

Hemsworth also expressed his desire to enhance his work-life balance by allocating more time to his family, as he shared with Dr. Attia.

‘It made me think about my kids and how they’re growing up and things are changing so dramatically, and I want to sit, I want to soak it in.’
