I have sarcoidosis, controlled high blood pressure, mild C.P. on my right side. Also pre diabetic. My sister is a long time vegan. She swims, hikes, bikes ... And she has the early onset of dementia. I have all the other issues. But at almost 67 years of age, I am still kicking! You do the best you can, nothing else seems to matter much to me. Staying positive is also a plus. My sister is 69. I can't remember the last time she has touched a dessert, or anything with preservatives. One just doesn't know what's next. Hopefully, they'll figure out a effective treatment for the disease soon.

My grandpa had early onset alzheimer.. I'm scared that I'm gonna get it. I'm obese and depressed so things aren't looking good for me...

My grandfather looks like he’s progressing into the early stage, occasionally blaming and accusing others of doing stuff, especially me, even when I’m the one who surprisingly is the one who cares for him the most (I’m the grandson).He loses his temper at my grandma easily. One moment he’s being unreasonable, the other moment he’s feeling remorseful. My dad is done with him and is being so rude to him and thus I have to make him feel better. When I do everything with him, there are more things he can blame and accuse me of (example not telling him something when I literally said it 20 times throughout the whole day) and even trying to use threats like (I won’t come anymore). What should I do?

Supplement with PQQ and a quality fish oil too. PQQ is a powerful, interesting antioxidant like agent.

I am pretty good at what you've said but all my friends have moved to the next town. I 'm one that needs a couple around but my husband won't move. The problem is we have no real friends here anymore. Things have changed so much.
