Living with mom and seeing the effects of Alzheimer’s makes me so committed to preventing this disease in myself. I HAVE tested positive for the APOE e4 variant, so my resolve is urgent.

My current Alzheimer’s preventions consist of….

Taking Vitamins -curcumin, B-complex and antioxidants

Switched to Non-aluminum hygiene products including deodorant

Sleep habits -eight hours every night with an occasional 10 minute nap during the day

Buying Organic foods, stay vegetarian and keep up on my garden

Cut alcohol way down, mostly red wine for the antioxidants

Keeping stress low, and meditate and yoga daily.

What I NEED to be doing is…

Cut out Diet Coke and sugars completely

Do some type of aerobic exercise at least 30 minutes every day consistently

Vacation when able, make new memories and connect to family
