Alzheimer’s Prevention and Treatment

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.”
 – Chinese Proverb

Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease that starts up to 20 years before the first symptoms of short term memory loss appear.  By paying attention to diet, exercise, vitamins, brain exercises and other areas, we can probably prevent the onset and maybe even reverse the course of the disease.

Please keep in mind that there is currently no magic bullet and given the complexity of the disease there may never be a single solution.  Today there are positive steps that you can take and many of them can be done at home right now.   Eating better and exercising?  Your worst case scenario involves looking and feeling better.
