Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth has overhauled his lifestyle to prioritise his brain health after learning he has an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
The 'Thor' actor discovered through genetic testing on his 'Limitless' docuseries that his chances of developing the degenerative condition are eight to 10 times higher than average, and as a result he's made a number of changes to his day-to-day life and routines.
He told America's Men's Health magazine: "Now, I'm incorporating more solitude into my 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."
The 40-year-old actor, who has an 11-year-old daughter India and nine-year-old twin sons Tristan and Sasha with wife Elsa Pataky, finds the time to incorporate mindfulness activities into his day, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
He said: "I do a lot of meditation and breath work mostly during sauna and ice bath routines."
