Alzheimer's Reading Room
This week's episode of @katiecouric is a discussion about Alzheimer's disease and ways to attempt to prevent memory loss.
Jean Carper, a long time health journalist provides practical tips for improving the strength of your mind, while Couric acknowledges the growing number of caregivers (an estimated 11 million people) who use the Internet for a sense of community, information and support.
Katie Couric posed a question I submitted to Jean Carper in the interview. Jean then spoke very highly of the Alzheimer's Reading Room (Thanks Jean). You can watch and listen to the segment in the video below.
You can also watch the entirety of the interview by following the links below the video. We also have a link Jean Carpers' new book -- 100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer's and Age-Related Memory Loss.
