Chris Hemsworth hits back at reports about his health after discovering he is genetically predisposed to Alzheimer's disease: 'It really kind of p***ed me off'

Chris Hemsworth has fired back over recent reports about his health.

After having bloodwork done for the program, he was informed he is 'between eight and 10 times' likelier to develop Alzheimer's than the general population, because he is one of only two to three percent of people with two copies of the gene APOE4. '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 Limitless with Chris Hemsworth, Dr Peter Attia suggested regular exercise and decent sleep were crucial to reduce the chances of Alzheimer's manifesting.
