As a parent I always resonated with the saying “Insanity is genetic – you get it from your kids.” But what about Alzheimer’s disease? Is it genetic? What do we know about what causes it? What do we know about how to prevent it? There is a new, free 28-page booklet from the National Institute on Aging that gives us an update on Alzheimer’s disease risk factors and potential prevention strategies. The booklet, titled Genes, Lifestyles and Crossword Puzzles: Can Alzheimer’s Disease Be Prevented?, is available on the Web. You can view the content online and order free copies as well.
For more information look for Genes, Lifestyles and Crossword Puzzles: Can Alzheimer’s Disease Be Prevented? at http://www.alzheimers.org/
Feel free to forward this e-mail to others who may find it useful.
Linking you with helpful caregiving resources
and wishing you a wonderful week.
