Using your brain muscle a lot will, IMHO, keep Alzheimers more at bay than anything else, so reading FR and posting here will do much for your memory bank folks. Keep thinking!!!!

It sounds so positive and nice. But it’s bunk. My parents both got Alzheimer’s. I have been tested and do not have “a gene” for it. So I don’t think they did, either. They were both very busy, smart, achieving seniors. They traveled, dad worked, he did other doctors’ bookkeeping for fun, followed his investments, was an expert witness, even still subbed for other docs. Until he couldn’t. Mom read 3-4 American history books a week, was very involved socially, traveling with Dad. They bought mountaintop property in their 70s and built a big house, a big involved project. They loved cards and other games.

THEY DID NOT GET ALZHEIMERS FROM LACK OF BRAIN ACTIVITY.

I believe it is caused by something (or some things) in our environment. There is no such thing as a genetic epidemic. And it isn’t that people are living longer. Both of them will not be living as long as their parents did (mom is still alive so that isn’t for sure, but probably).
