MEMORY LOSS: IT'S NORMAL, BUT IT'S SCARY -- "As we age, we become more and more likely to forget where we put things, and the causes can range from flawed nutrition to Alzheimer's." (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH) This article examines memory loss and Alzheimer's disease and relays that "what people in their 30s dismiss as mere absent-mindedness often rings alarm bells for those in their 70s who fear it portends loss of their mental faculties.". MIND EXERCISE MAY HELP ALZHEIMER'S -- This article examines the findings of a recent study which suggests that "adults with hobbies that exercise their brains--such as reading, jigsaw puzzles or chess--are 2-1/2 times less likely to have Alzheimer's disease, while leisure limited to TV watching may increase the risk." (GREENFIELD RECORDER) NEW APPROACH TO ALZHEIMER'S LETS PATIENTS LIVE THEIR REALITY -- "Alzheimer's is a progressive, degenerative disease in which brain cells die and cannot be replaced. It affects about 4 million Americans in the United States. In traditional nursing homes, people with the disease can be disruptive. They live in the past or in a fantasy world created by their mind's decline. They tend to wander into restricted areas and take items from other residents' rooms." (INDIANAPOLIS STAR) This article highlights a novel treatment program designed to aid individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
