ScienceDaily (2008-06-25) — An anti-inflammatory drug may help restore brain function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, according to an animal study in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

The medical profession is constantly discovering new data that will hopefully, one day lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s.

Until then arming yourself with the knowledge to recognize the symptoms and on how to live preventatively remains our best defense against Alzheimer’s and most other debilitating diseases..

And let’s face it your health is your responsibility. Bad lifestyle choices are your fault, nobody elses.

More than 50% of people over 95 will have . Because of longevity the cases of Alzheimer’s in the general population are increasing at an alarming rate.

The number of deaths from Alzheimer’s has increased 20 fold in the last 20 years.

Alzheimer’s Age Demographics:

Baby boomers this means that your best defense against Alzheimer’s is prevention!

Prevention starts with your lifestyle. Eat healthy fresh foods, supplement with the vitamins and minerals that you might not be getting enough of, start a regular fitness program, engage your brain - use it regularly, have fun and practice stress relief, etc.

Regular sex is a great medicinal tool - thought I put that in just for fun - but it is true!
