With a parent suffering from this dreaded disease I thought I would welcome a book that informs and helps me avoid risk factors.
In fact, the very opposite happened. Every page is a reminder that I'm probably too late and have put myself at risk from every aspect of my life (despite it being a fairly health one!).
This is a book that can put the fear of god into you and makes it seem like you will follow that familial pathway to dementia. I didn't find it helpful or informative at all as every page is almost like scaremongering.

If this book had been called 100 ways to reduce the risk, I wouldn't have too many problems with this book for anyone who's been living on another planet and not taken notice of common sense health advice and generally accepted practices to see you through old age. However, it is simply not possible to prevent an illness that affects so many people, many of whom routinely have always done most of the things suggested here.

This sort of book panders to people's hope that simply by drinking apple juice, for example, you can prevent Alzheimers.
Has it not occurred to anyone that if you genuinely could do simple things to stop it, then the likes of Alzheimer's Research UK or Alzheimer's Society would have published a book?
Most of this is based on extremely flimsy scientific research - it's basically a modern-day form of snake-oil salesmanship.
AVOID!

An easy read. Some of the things to do are correlations with Alzheimers rather than causes, but there are enough suggestions that are possible to do and have a reasonable... Read more

All too depressing!
Sorry but didn't get far through this book - just found the entire subject too serious and depressing - though I'm sure it is full of good advice.

Read this yesterday - this book is absolutely fascinating and its 100 simple things are sure to be really helpful! If only I could remember any of them...

Essential reading for the over 60s
Full of valuable proposals with references to sources.
In an easily digestible format with a summary at the end of each section and a proposed action plan at the end.

Disappointed
I actually returned this book whence it came - the first time ever!! I felt it was too simplistic and stated the obvious in many cases. Not helpful in my personal situation.
