Did you see the article in AARP Bulletin, Jan-Feb 2015?? Very interesting reading; check it out!!

True to my resolution, I’m reading for an hour (or more) every day. “Health” is a subject close to my heart. (Today, I made a large kettle of homemade [dry] beans with chili powder and ground turkey (and onions, garlic, jalapeno pepper, etc.). Most will be frozen in single-size portions.)  I glanced at numerous publications today and “downsized” them into the waste basket.

“Alzheimer’s” is a disease that frightens me!! My faltering effort to maintain good health may not be sufficient?? I cook in stainless steel utensils (I never use aluminum cookware). Some health professions have attributed the disease to aluminum because patient numbers have skyrocketed since sales of Club Aluminum and Kinney Ware, etc., in the 1940’s and 50’s. Likewise, I don’t use Teflon fry pans (frankly, I don’t “fry” anything). I don’t use microwave ovens. 

Well, the reader may be amused… and wonder why I bothered to write this blog message. Answer: This is a topic I’m challenged by and wanted to bring the article to your attention. (At the CARE Center, we have Adult Day Care and several who attend suffer from Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, the spouse of several of our CARE residents suffer from the disease.)

I seldom go to the movie theater. However, I’m considering the movie “Still Alice.”
