How Chris Hemsworth changed his wellness routine amid Alzheimer’s disease risk

Chris Hemsworth is taking his health more seriously ever since he learned he has a high risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

The Marvel actor, 40, got candid with Men’s Health in a new profile where he revealed he made some major wellness and lifestyle changes to help keep him in tip-top shape.

“I’ve always been pretty consistent with my exercise commitments,” he said.

“But lately I’ve really felt the importance of taking time for yourself without any outside voice or stimulation and making time for stillness,” the Australian native went on.

While Hemsworth is known to be very into physical exercise, he has started to dip his toes into keeping his mind and soul stronger.

Sleeping more and taking ice baths on a regular basis has also helped the “Thor” star stay lean.

The father of three continued: “My weight fluctuates a lot due to differing roles and also my own interests in regards to challenging my body in different ways.”

“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,” Hemsworth explained.

He found out that he has two copies of the gene APOE4 in his DNA and he is more likely to develop the progressive disease later in life while filming his National Geographic series “Limitless” last year.

The “Rush” star hinted to Vanity Fair last November that he’s going to take a step back — but is not retiring — from acting to focus on his body and mindfulness.

He also discussed the “intensity [of] navigating” his Alzheimer’s test results and gave some deep thoughts about death.

“Most of us, we like to avoid speaking about death,” he shared. “Then to all of a sudden be told some big indicators are actually pointing to this as the route which is going to happen, the reality of it sinks in. Your own mortality.”

“I feel like my memory’s getting worse,” he said at the time. “It’s a placebo effect — or it’s taking place! It’s my excuse now.”
