1. Exercise everyday, a ten minute walk or any kind of aerobic conditioning will help lower your risk for Alzheimer’s.
2. Workout your mind as well as your body – do jumping jacks for the brain. Workout your right brain with jigsaw puzzles, your left brain with crossword puzzles. Train, but don’t strain your brain.
3. Take care of your diet, eat a brain healthy diet, which is similar to a heart smart diet. Dr Oz said dancing is great for the brain, it is exercise for the body, plus mental activity.
Dr. Oz says eat leafy greens because they have a lot of B Vitamins in them. Olive oil for the Omega 9 fats. The number one thing that helps in the reduction of Alzheimer’s is Curry. In India the incidence of Alzheimer’s seems to be less than the U.S. The Curcumin in curry seems to reduce some of the changes that occur in the Alzheimer’s brain. Dr. Oz recommends two servings of curry foods a week. Dr. Small says that people who ate Indian food at least once a week performed better on their Dr Oz Alzheimer’s Memory Quiz. Take the Dr. Oz Alzheimer’s Memory Test, it’s a very simple test to take to see if you may have a problem.
Is Alzheimer’s Genetic?
Dr. Oz showed the story of Laurie who was born and raised in North Dakota along with her sister and four brothers. Laurie who is only fifty years old has Alzheimer’s, and so does most of her family. Her father was diagnosed in 1977 with Alzheimer’s at the age of 41. Laurie’s says her Grandmother probably died from the same disease in her fifties. Soon Laurie’s Father’s brother and sister were also diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
When Laurie grew up and married and started a family of her own, she found out that two of her brothers were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, that’s when she realized she had trouble too, forgetting things more and more. Dr.’s suggested Genetic testing for the family, which they did. Laurie found out that her 4 brothers and herself have the gene mutation for early onset Alzheimer’s. This means 100 percent they have the disease. Only Laurie’s sister Carla escaped the curse of Alzheimer’s. Laurie’s biggest fear is has she passed this disease along to her children.

I just finished watching Dr. Oz’s segment about alzheimer’s and found myself concerned for myself and for my husband. Two things;First, my husband’s grandmother on his mother’s side died from this disease. Does this mean we should do some genetic testing? He is very smart, and has an amazing memory in many areas. Second, I am 54 and a twin. For my/our entire life I/we have had a way to talk and communicate that our families don’t understand but we do. It seems we talk in chunks or we complete eachother’s sentences. As a result, in our adult life we both struggle to make sense to our friends and colleagues, and occasionally to our family. Now I/we seem to suffer from the senior moments other 50′s suffer. Here’s what I do…I can look right at one of my students and their name is “gone”; I say words that don’t even relate to what I am talking about. For example if I were talking about a pen I might say ship. Just odd… This memory loss is frightening. I exercise eveyday but don’t eat that well on a daily basis. I have had complete blood work done in the last 2 weeks and everything we normal. I do not do crossword puzzles but I do word jumbles and I am actively seeking new information and strategies at work. I took the word test that was on the program and I remembered 4 words. What do you suggest I do about my senior moments? Should I be documenting them? I do think being a twin makes some difference but I don’t know. I look forward to hearing from you.
I took the short test on memory but found that the story that was t be read didn’t come across, so the last few aswers were just guessing. You may want to look into that matter. I tried several times and when I hit the play button NOTHING HAPPENED!!
