Virginia Tech Research Uncovers Five Nutrients Lacking in the Brains of those with Alzheimer’s     

Many of us pay close attention to the nutrients in the food we eat before deciding on our meal options. We know that we need a certain amount of iron, protein, calcium, and vitamin C as we age. But most of us don’t realize how much the foods we eat can impact our brain health, and that they may be the key to our body's defense against Alzheimer's disease. 

A recent study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease by Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine professor C. Kathleen Dorey and her team of researchers, adds potentially important new information about the power of diet in promoting overall well-being.  

Critter Corner: Falling Prey to Financial Scams Could Be an Early Sign of Alzheimer's      

Dear Angel,

They say that there is a correlation between early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and falling prey to financial scams. Is this true and if so, what can we do if we see someone falling into this pattern? 

Thanks for your help!
