News from UsAgainstAlzheimer's

Michael Ellenbogen sent me quite a bit of news from this important Alzheimer's organization. I just picked out a few of the stories.

Meet the women of UsAgainstAlzheimer's
As part of Women’s History Month in March, we released four videos shining a spotlight on some of the incredible women who are driving change through their work at UsAgainstAlzheimer’s. From advocacy to caregiving, these women are devoted to combating the disease and supporting those affected by it. Click HERE to view their videos.

New data shed light on effective strategies to prevent Alzheimer's
A new study from Dr. Dean Ornish of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute demonstrates how diet, exercise, and other interventions improved brain cognition and function after just 20 weeks! His study reinforces the UsAgainstAlzheimer’s prevention message of what is good for the body is good for the brain! Click HERE to read our blog post to learn more.

Scientific America: The New Age of Alzheimer’s

This special collection of articles explores the “advances that could delay or even prevent dementia and intriguing new approaches to support brain health in the world’s aging population.” Scientific America Custom Media produced the special issue in partnership with Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative (DAC) — an UsAgainstAlzheimer’s sister organization.
