Alzheimer’s Planning Part 5 – Prevention & Risk Reduction

In this final portion of the five-part series of short episodes centered on Alzheimer's planning, Attorney Julie Steinbacher speaks with Jeffrey Dauber, education and outreach coordinator for the Greater Pennsylvania chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Unfortunately, Alzheimer's isn't entirely preventable at this point, despite an increase in research breakthroughs recently. However, in this episode, Julie and Jeffrey discuss some things that can be done to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and slow its progression, namely staying cognitively challenged and physically active, and not being socially isolated.
