Product Description
From a world-renowned neurologist: the first book to feature a scientifically substantiated program for the only treatment for Alzheimers: prevention.
Alzheimers is pandemic among older adults worldwide, and as baby boomers age it promises to be the Great American Epidemic of the twenty-first century. Unlike other books in the category, which focus primarily on caring for an Alzheimers patient after diagnosis, The Anti-Alzheimers Prescription presents a program to lower your risk by 70%:
Assess your risk factors and determine your Real Brain Age
Step One: the Anti-Alzheimers Diet, including recipes and a twenty-eight-day menu
Step Two: daily physical exercises for the body and mind
Step Three: daily neurobics to build a big brain reserve
Step Four: the importance of stress reduction and quality sleep
Making a diagnosis and the latest medical therapies being developed
For the millions of men and women at risk for developing this debilitating illness, The Anti-Alzheimers Prescription is a lifesaving breakthrough.

Dr. Fortanasce's "Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription" is written in an easy to read, non-clinical style. Combining established scientific findings and anecdotal information based on years of clinical practice, he presents the 4 step program in a logical and compelling way. Especially if there is a history of Alzheimer's in your family, or if you are just interested in staying "at the top of your game" for as many years as possible, the Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription offers the reader simple and practical lifestyle interventions to promote longevity of mind and spirit.

I found the Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription very informative and easy to understand. The exercise program is excellent. I have started on the diet and found it satisfying and I am losing weight.

As a speech-language pathologist, I feel the book was an outstanding guide for understanding the symptoms and preventative measures to overcome the onset of the disease. I would recommend this book to colleagues, patients and family members for an informative, and exceptionally well-written book. Dr. Fortanasce has written the information so all can understand the impact this disease has on the patient and the family.
Essential & Hopeful Must Read with Practical Information August 26, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription is a must read for all of us, who are concerned about a healthy future without Alzheimer's-- whether it's our own, our parents' or our loved ones. This book provides practical information on how we can make deliberate changes and modifications in our diet and lifestyle for a healthy brain. In a very conversational style, this medical self-help book is a quick read, easy to understand and presents examples we can personally relate to.
Dr. Vincent Fortanasce's own personal story about helplessly watching the spirit and essence of the father he knew, disappear to the horrible Alzheimer's disease heightens the book's urgent message of Alzheimer's prevention. In addition to his genetic pre-disposition, Dr. Fortanasce writes from his training, knowledge and medical experience in neurology, psychiatry and rehabilitation.
Who would have thought that a byproduct of our successful lives--often a frenetic, stressful, sleepless existence is exactly what can contribute to dementia? It is alarming that there is currently no drug available that can stop the progression of Alzheimer's. With suggestions regarding specific diet, exercise, neurobics and lifestyle changes, the Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription conveys a message of hope in battling this horrible epidemic.

Wow,this book is great. My wife was just diagnosed with dementia. This book helps explain what I had been observing, what we're experiencing, what we can expect and how to delay the decline.
