I came across the Alzheimer’s Association the other day. Their site is chock full of information about the Alzheimer’s disease including the causes and symptoms of Alzheimer’s, diagnosis and treatment and statistics and myths about it.
They stress making “brain-healthy” life choices and have this pretty cool section about 10 basic ways for “maintaining your brain”. This includes things like exercising all parts of your body (not just your brain), keeping your brain active by games and other activities, protecting your head from injuries and eating healthy while avoiding habits that are unhealthy for your brain like alcohol and drugs.
