Though research continues in this field, scientists have broadened their approach in the search for what, if anything, may be an environmental cause of this disease. While it may not yet be known if there is any direct link, common sense teaches us to be watchful nonetheless. Ultimately, it still remains with each individual to focus on areas that have proven to have a positive impact on their health. These areas include as always such important aspects as:

* Avoiding negative things as smoking and excessive alcohol

* The pursuit of good nutrition and healthy exercise

* The need to stay active intellectually

* As well, to have good social and emotional interaction with others.

In the war against Alzheimer’s, taking a long term proactive stance is vital in our defense.
