[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Dementia of the Alzheimer's type runs strong on one side of my family, while the other side stays sharp well into their 80s and early 90s. Sometimes I think I'm starting to slip, and nothing scares me more than the prospect of having my mind go before the body goes.

This is a kind of checklist that pretty much anyone can use. I'm already doing rather well on diet and some of the supplements, but definitely a slacker in the exercise department; that's going to change in short order.

Thanks so much, kpete, for finding and posting this! Definitely going to share it with other family members who have the same fearsome worry I do.
