Fish oil prevents plaque in Alzheimer's patients
UCLA researchers this week said that we all need a fish oil fatty acid to ensure we have the internal tools to make a plaque-fighting protein that could help prevent Alzheimer's Disease.That's comforting -- but if you can afford it, a good supplement regimen of Omega-3 oils is great for just about everyone from teenage years up.
Specifically, choose a fish oil product with plenty of DHA, which was found to stimulate the brain into making more of a brain protein called LR11 that is associated with Alzheimer's Disease.

I used to take a flaxseed pill and fishoil pill in the morning and night (including a vitamin supp at night), then I quit the fish oil pill when I discovered how YUMMY fish really is. (I used to NEVER eat fish, but now I eat sushi and salmon/tilapia all the time). I feel better with it.

On one side are millions of people suffering with
Alzheimer�s.
On the other side are 50 million caregivers in the U.S. who take care of them without proper training and
preparation.
In the middle is a woman on a mission.
Bonnie McGovern is a leading advocate for caregivers
caring for a loved one. She�s written a book titled Taking Care of Barbara A Journey Through Life
and Alzheimer�s and 29 Insights for Caregivers.
The book was inspired by a real life story Bonnie
experienced while caring for her sister 10 years.
In the book readers will learn:
* Secrets to maintaining the patient�s hygiene
* An amazing strategy on how the caregiver can stay
healthy (40% of caregivers die before the person they
care for)
* What are the 3 stages of Alzheimer�s
* What are the 2 most important documents caregivers
must have
* What to do when a loved one passes over
