Television Program on Alzheimer's
Dr. Vincent Fortanasce, M.D., one of the featured guests on this program, wrote a book entitled The Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription which I purchased before our class reunion. At our class reunion, one of our medical classmates recommended the book to me, and I told him I had bought it a few months before.
This video mentions the D.E.A.R. program: diet, exercise, accentuate your brain's reserve, and rest and relaxation. Here is the website: http://www.dearprogram.com/dear_info.html
