100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer’s (Review of an Outstanding Book)

July 28, 2016 by Joi 1 Comment

Book links are usually affiliate links. This means I earn a small percentage when you click through and buy the book. This costs you nothing extra - it simply allows me to keep my cats in the lifestyle they're accustomed to.

100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer's
100 Simple Things You Can Do To Prevent Alzheimer’s And Age-Related Memory Loss by Jean Carper is one of my favorite books in my entire personal library. It’s also one that I reopen again and again. The information the author shares is fascinating as well as vital.

What’s more, it’s also exciting because  there are things we can do (and avoid doing) to increase our odds of avoiding Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and other forms of memory loss.

It’s like being in a room with the scariest zombie you ever saw and suddenly seeing an escape hatch.

Most people think there is little or nothing you can do to avoid Alzheimer’s. But scientists know this is no longer true. In fact, prominent researchers now say that our best and perhaps only hope of defeating Alzheimer’s is to prevent it.

After best-selling author Jean Carper discovered that she had the major susceptibility gene for Alzheimer’s, she was determined to find all the latest scientific evidence on how to escape it. She discovered 100 surprisingly simple scientifically tested ways to radically cut the odds of Alzheimer’s, memory decline, and other forms of dementia.

Did you know that vitamin B 12 helps keep your brain from shrinking? Apple juice mimics a common Alzheimer’s drug? Surfing the internet strengthens aging brain cells? Exercise is like Miracle-Gro for your brain?

Even a few preventive actions could dramatically change your future by postponing Alzheimer’s as long as possible. If you can delay the onset of Alzheimer’s for five years, you cut your odds of having it in half.  Postpone it for ten years, and you’ll most likely never live to see it.  100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer’s will change the way you look at Alzheimer’s and provides exciting new answers from the frontiers of brain research to help keep you and your family free of this heartbreaking disease. – From the Inside Cover

Each of the 100 “simple things” include 2-4 pages of information to back it up. There are quotes from leading experts, research data, and fruits of research the author (a medical journalist) has conducted over the years.

A WEALTH of information.

The 100 tips are easy to implement in your daily life and, here’s a wonderful bonus – whatever benefits your brain benefits your heart. Follow these wonderful steps and they’ll lead you to a healthier brain and heart…. now that’s someplace worth going!

I want very much for you to grab your own copy of this book, so I don’t want to give much away. However, I will share one of the tips with you: #44 Google Something! Surfing the internet actually exercises your brain.

It’s a scientific fact: doing an Internet search can stimulate aging brains even more than reading a book. So finds Gary Small, MD, director of the UCLA Center on Aging. “Internet searching,” he says, “engages complicated brain activity, which may help exercise and improve brain function.”…… One reason Web surfing is so demanding is that you are forced to make multiple decisions as you click, click, click to get to the ultimate information you want. Such constant decision making “engages important cognitive circuits in the brain,” say researchers, giving your brain a significant workout.  Mental exercise, like physical exercise, appears to strengthen your brain’s resistance to mental decline and Alzheimer’s. – Pages 132 – 133, 100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer’s

Who is This Book For?

You may automatically associate this book with readers who are over 50 and, while we Baby Boomers can benefit greatly from it, let’s not leave out the youngin’s! I wish I had had access to this information when I was in my 20’s, I could have made smarter decisions then that would help protect me now. Make no mistake about it, this book is for anyone in any age group.

Basically, anyone who values their brain enough to protect it will love this book. The information could prove to be the weapons you need to save you from that scary zombie – the one no one wants to talk about, but everyone thinks about: Alzheimer’s Disease.

See 100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer’s for more information. This one qualifies as a MUST HAVE.
