"Yikes! Belly fat equals smaller brains, and a higher risk of Alzheimer's." Remedy magazine Fall 2010.

The quest for overall health, even in the face of a terminal illness, needs to include weight management, physical activity, good nutrition, and peace of mind.

Bike riding is iffy with balance issues, so perhaps we can join a place with a pool for him to swim.
