Prevent Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease by Staying in the KNOW…… NOW

Staying on top of scientific research and information can put the odds in your favor when it comes to preventing Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Fortunately, preventing Alzheimer’s, slowing dementia’s progress, and slowing the onset of  mental problems (hopefully for good) is front and center when it comes to medical research these days. However, the research won’t do you any good if you don’t follow the information and heed the advice.

Below is a list of sources for you to count on. Reading articles and books about the brain actually benefits you two ways..

• it stimulates the brain
• it can help save your brain!

When you visit the following website, see if they have an e-mail newsletter and sign up for it. This is a great way to stay on top of the research being done. Also, follow them on Twitter and Facebook for more information as it becomes available.
