Every purchase of this book supports research into preventing Alzheimer's at the KU ADC. Researchers at centers with this elite designation are working to translate research advances into improved diagnoses and care for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients while trying to find a way to cure and possibly prevent AD. Each center has its own unique area of emphasis. The KU ADC emphasizes the research areas of mitochondrial genomics,metabolism and neuroimaging. The KU ADC has successfully developed and recruited leading researchers from around the country who are applying state-of-the-art brain imaging techniques and are advancing research in cell metabolism (energy production) in older adults.

They are based on your age, gender, history, medications, allergies, injuries, goals, social support, and more. We’ll give you recommendations, research, tips, and tricks, but it’s up to you to determine how to apply them to your life.
