"Aging is inevitable, but aging well is not." Dr. Frank Longo
The Feb. 22, 2016, Time magazine has a lot of good material about aging. Some suggested ways to avoid dementia, according to this article, are to tame inflammation and to consider the role of insulin and tau protein - as well as the more familiar, amyloid - in the role of dementia. So, what can we do? Exercise, eat mostly plant-based foods, and manage our thoughts toward the positive.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
