This article was made me feel very hopeful about the future. I'm in my 60s and worry about this disease. Presently I am very active. It's good to know that I can do something to ward off this disease. Thank you.

I am 82 years old, and I do agree that the more activities in which I participate, the better!!! I find it rather dull to use the in-place bicycle and tread mill, but I really enjoy mowing the yards, walking the dog, and cleaning the house!!! One day when I get bored with these activities, I may consider joining some Senior Group who do exercises to music and meet/greet others. Now I manage to stay busy 90% of my waking hours. Remember to keep smiling and have a positive attitude!

My husband has Alzheimers. He does walk the dog every day as well as works on restoring old tractors. This habit proves to help, but not eliminate this disease. It is progressing, but hopefully not as quickly as it would otherwise.
