The evidence just keeps piling on about the value of exercise in preventing Alzheimer's. This is certainly in line with a study I posted recently that found a commitment to exercise over the long haul can also decrease the cellular aging in your brain.

The trick about exercise, however, is treating it like a drug that needs to be prescribed precisely so you can achieve the maximum benefit. There are a number of excellent resources out there for exercise; you can review mine or search online or in your book store for further resources.

You can consider the following guidelines to protect your body (and reduce your risk) from the ravages of Alzheimer's without taking a drug:

• Follow the Total Health Program, paying special attention to avoiding sugar.
• Eat plenty of high-quality omega-3 fish and cod liver oil.
• Reduce your intake of most fish and remove as many sources of mercury from your life as possible.
• Eat plenty of vegetables.
• Do your best to steer clear of flu shots.
• Try Wild Blueberry IQ, an all-natural, whole fruit softgel made from wild blueberries, which have high anthocyanin and antioxidant content that are known to guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
• Eat a nutritious diet based on your body's unique nutritional type.
• Keep your mind active.
• Since worry accelerates your risk of Alzheimer's, learn an effective energy psychology tool like Emotional Freedom Technique.
