Finally, some good news on the battle against Alzheimer’s.

There is a growing consensus among Alzheimer’s treatment authorities that the most promising way to counter growing Alzheimer’s cases is through preventative treatment.

Interestingly, indications are that the treatment is not focused on drugs or other expensive medical procedures. Rather, the most promising avenues appear to be exercise and diet control with particular attention to blood pressure and cholesterol levels. 

As a general matter, such concerns apply to all people whether they are at risk for Alzheimer’s or not, but such activities are particularly important for those who are at risk. That fact highlights the importance of receiving an early diagnosis. If you have it, you know what you need to do. If one engages in diet control and exercise, early research strongly suggests that the onset of serious symptoms can be delayed for many years.
