Be bilingual
Speaking more than one language can protect against Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia, according to research. While no one is sure why a second language helps so much, Dr. Knopman theorizes that the effort to communicate bilingually is like a workout for the brain, helping preserve gray matter and neurons.

Thank you for this information, I’ll start walking today!
I don’t believe the experts any more. My husband was very active. Using the gym, riding his bike, walking, dancing, swimming, etc. Also did some reading. His brother and sister were the opposit. All three had similar jobs. All three got Alzheimer at age 78 and died at 82.
How very disheartening! My mom in law had it;p my hubby is okay—but I worry about my daughter who is 68 and has all of her nanny traits! What can she do? Her dad (89( is okay and so am I so far. What can one do?

Hasn’t anyone read the most current info regarding this? Not that anyone has the TRUTH, but the signs are that this horrifying disease skips a generation. Since my Mom, her sister, great uncle, great aunt and countless cousins died from complications caused by Alzheimers, I pray for my nieces and nephews and for a cure.
