Time for me to put off working off this extra weight around my middle! This is an extra incentive for me to work harder at following their 4 suggestions:

*Exercise regularly.
*Eat healthfully.
*Get plenty of rest.
*Learn to manage your stress.

I don't know where these people get their ideas from. My father was not overweight, the people I know whose parents died from this were not overweight or had belly fat. Factors that seem to play a part are that the one affected by Alzheimers had a dominant partner, and also after working hard for many years going into retirement with no goals and the interaction with all the people they used to work with coming to an end, a feeling of uselessness prevails.
