100 Simple things you can do to prevent Alzheimer’s
Jean Carper
Little Brown
Mindful of the writer Iris Murdoch’s descent into the self-estrangement of Alzheimer’s, reasonably close witness to the hell imposed by the disease on the sufferer’s loved ones, and having had a recent – profoundly frightening – brush with the abyss of memory loss, I was inclined to be interested in this book.
How long can you balance on one leg? And with your eyes closed? Did you know this is one indicator that might reveal your chances of developing Alzheimer’s? The book is full of such fascinating tidbits, each “simple thing” you can do is covered in a mere three pages, and arcane wisdom is backed up with solid research. - Karin Schimke
