There are any number of ways you can get involved with Alzheimer's at a number of different levels. Some require very little commitment, others are about lifestyle changes. Here are my top ten ideas.
1. Read a book, internet site or newspaper article about Alzheimer's. Try to
sour...
If I could suggest one more, I would recommend checking for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by having a sleep test done and if positive, treating it faithfully (100%) with a PAP machine.
You will be less likely to develop Alzheimer's and/or some of the other dementias by preventing repeated hypoxemic (low blood oxygen) damage to the brain.
Besides, if you have OSA, it should be treated anyway to prevent the other pandora's box of deadly diseases (e.g., obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest while asleep, stroke... and the list goes on).
