Most people think there is little or nothing you can do to avoid Alzheimers. But scientists know this is no longer true. In fact, prominent researchers now say that our best and perhaps only hope of defeating Alzheimers is to prevent it.

After best-selling author Jean Carper discovered that she had the major susceptibility gene for Alzheimers, she was determined to find all the latest scientific evidence on how to escape it. She discovered 100 surprisingly simple scientifically tested ways to radically cut the odds of Alzheimers, memory decline, and other forms of dementia.

Ordinary infections and a popular anesthesia may trigger dementia? Meditating spurs the growth of new neurons? Exercise is like Miracle-Gro for your brain?

Even a few preventive actions could dramatically change your future by postponing Alzheimers so long that you eventually outlive it. If you can delay the onset of Alzheimers for five years, you cut your odds of having it by half. Postpone Alzheimers for ten years, and youll most likely never live to see it.
