The Alzheimer's Prevention Program: Keep Your Brain Healthy for the Rest of Your Life

I'm a retired psychologist and I bought this book for my wife whose family has Alzheimer's running through it. She read it in two days and I read through parts that were of interest to me. I found it sufficiently well documented to suit my academic tastes and yet very readable and interesting. My wife felt the same. It was a thoughtful and practical approach to dealing with one's anxieties relative to Alzheimer's Syndrome based on the current state of knowledge.

I have done a lot of research on the subject of Alzheimer's and dementia. My grandfather and my mother both suffered from dementia when they reached their seventies. I am doing everything I can to help myself now, so that I can prevent, or at least delay, the onset of this horrible illness. This book has reinforced many practices that I have already implemented in my life, and many others that I am going to add right now. Thank you for this important information.

I would recommend this book as it was an easy read and gives good practical advice. I have read several books (I now own about ten!) on the topic since my husband was diagnosed with "early" Alzheimer's. I was expecting though a little more "actionable" advice on things that can be done, and more in-depth recommendations. That being said, I definitely learned some valuable tips to share with my family and would still say this is in the top 3 of these books that I have read (the other two being the new 5th edition of the 36 hour day, perfect for caregiving  The 36-Hour Day, fifth edition: The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People Who Have Alzheimer Disease, Related Dementias, and Memory Loss (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book) , and the new 2012 edition of Alzheimer's Treatment and Prevention,  Alzheimer's Treatment Alzheimer's Prevention: A Patient and Family Guide, 2012 Edition  which is the go-to guide for the latest treatments, and was more comprehensive for things like the 9-week Alzheimers diet plan outlined for both treatment and prevention, as well as drug and non-drug approaches).

My brother recommended this book and is convinced that if you follow this doctor's advice you will not get Alzheimer's which we are both concerned about since our mother just died from this devastating disease. I am hoping to follow his program to prevent Alzheimer's. He has some very useful advice with documentation to back up his findings.

I wish I had read this years ago. At 76, it may be too late for me. But I am incorporating his suggestions into my daily routine. I was not aware that doing things with my left hand could stimulate areas of my brain (I am right-handed). I already had been doing crossword puzzles, but was amazed at how hard it was to recall a long list of unassociated words. I will be working on that. Also I had noticed that doing math problems had become difficult. I will be doing more of those also. This is a book that I will be reading and re-reading.

Very helpful. I'm now juicing and staying away from sugar. Feeling better in just 1 week!! Exercise.... exercise... exercise.. body and brain I take care of my mother who suffers with dementia. Just recently lost my father to Alzheimer's. Not fun to watch those you love lose their memories and personalities.

This book is ok with some exercises to assess and to improve but lacks references to some of the more important research on the topic.

Dr. Small's book has practical, simple recommendations not only to reduce stress but to improve memory and enhance well-being. His mental exercises and dietary recommendations have helped me with memory recall, better sleep, and mood stabilization. Finally, an easy to read, practical book that is on-target.

Well written, easy to read and unlike many books, it covers complex topics without overwhelming the reader with detail and technical jargon.. I most certainly recommend the book to all older adults. Knowing the potential issues you may face is a major step in prevention.and preparation. It s time for we folks in our 'eighties' to make those 'important decisions' while we understand the hazards ahead, and can do so with a clear head. Alg

Based on serious scientific research, this book gives no-nonsense do's and don'ts for minimizing your chances of developing Alzheimer's disease, probably the most feared of the many ills of old age. A must-read volume for all over fifties.
