Alzheimer's disease

Recently I brought a CD package about preventing Alzheimer's disease from library. I don't remember the name of the book exactly. But one of the authors is Dr.Andrew Weil. It is a beautiful book that includes simple brain exercises that help you prevent the disease.

They also gave a list of healthy foods that we all should include in our diet. I am not going to bore you with all the details. Here is a simple list:

Turmeric

Olive oil

Fruits



The above 2 items we can easily include in our diet.

Include a pinch of turmeric in every dish. This is usually done in Indian cooking. In almost every dish, they add only a pinch of turmeric. A survey showed that the incidence of Alzheimer's disease is very low in Indian communities.

Cook all the dishes with Olive oil.



This disease is most commonly seen in people with low- moderate education levels. More specifically in High school dropouts. Very less seen in people with Masters level of education. Nobody can ask you to join in college RIGHT NOW. But here are the simple exercises which should be followed:

After you enter into forties, make your brain exercise by doing cross word, sudoku, remembering phone No.s, House No.s, grocery list etc.



This is the main essence of that book. I'll post the exact name of the book as early as possible. I recommend those persons who think that they might be susceptible to this disease to read this book and do the exercises given in that book.

This is not any advertisement of that book. I personally liked it. They are available in regional libraries. So go through it once.
