The Alzheimer's Prevention Program: Keep Your Brain Healthy for the Rest of Your Life

GOOD: Good book for those who want more information on Alzheimer's disease. The book is reasonably current in its content as of 2011. Good ideas about strategies to help prevent or delay the disease's onset. No quick fixes, but good suggestions on how to improve diet, memory exerciese, etc. Worth reading.ISSUES: The book has several "tests" which require that you have a computer and internet access to download and print. The Kindle edition doesn't do a good job with viewing these forms which are necessary to get all the potential value of the book. If you're looking for a good reference book, it's probably best to purchase the book in it's hard form. The current cost is about the same as the Kindle edition and then you'll have a reference you can go back to easily.

Very insightful, easy to read. Good illustrations and puzzles to work on. I enjoyed reading this book. Instead of recommending pills to take to ward of Alzheimer's and memory decline, the author recommends normal foods, exercise and mind games.Mike M.

I have done a lot of research on the subject of Alzheimer's and dementia. My grandfather and my mother both suffered from dementia when they reached their seventies. I am doing everything I can to help myself now, so that I can prevent, or at least delay, the onset of this horrible illness. This book has reinforced many practices that I have already implemented in my life, and many others that I am going to add right now. Thank you for this important information.

My wife loves it. She has been worried about both of us getting old and having memory problems. This book helped her see that we are not in the early stages of Alzheimer's, but just getting old and our file cabinets are larger.

I wish I had read this years ago. At 76, it may be too late for me. But I am incorporating his suggestions into my daily routine. I was not aware that doing things with my left hand could stimulate areas of my brain (I am right-handed). I already had been doing crossword puzzles, but was amazed at how hard it was to recall a long list of unassociated words. I will be working on that. Also I had noticed that doing math problems had become difficult. I will be doing more of those also. This is a book that I will be reading and re-reading.

Great information. Wish I'd read it sooner and it had been available 20 years ago before my Mother began suffering from Alzheimer's.

As expected

This is a good book for anyone who is afraid of developing dementia. It is also a good teaching source for caregivers in the home and the facility. It helps keep people going one crossword puzzle at a time.

Based on serious scientific research, this book gives no-nonsense do's and don'ts for minimizing your chances of developing Alzheimer's disease, probably the most feared of the many ills of old age. A must-read volume for all over fifties.
