Alzheimer's Blogging:

Can I prevent this disease? I use to make my father in law do board puzzles, and play cards with me. Yet his mind kept slipping farther and farther away. In time he could not even hold the cards, so we put them on the table and I would have to figure out how to play without cheating.

Fish oil, exercising the body like walking or playing golf, eating correctly, and exercising the mind like reading or cross word puzzles will help to maybe delay but there is no proof that it can stop this terrible disease.

Exercise and lots of water help keep the blood, oxygen and nutrients moving to where ever it is needed including the brain. A healthy lifestyle is a prevention of so many kinds of diseases. Who knows, maybe in time the scientists can tell us what to do to prevent this terrible disease to happen to us.
