There’s a new PBS documentary airing tonight (January 25th) on Alzheimer’s Disease. It’s a one-hour urgent call to action called “Alzheimer’s: Every Minute Counts.” The point of view of the documentary is that we haven’t given enough resources to Alzheimer’s research.
There’s an article from Next Avenue about the documentary. See:

The article is an interview with Dr. Rudy Tanzi, an Alzheimer’s researcher who appears in the documentary. He is asked about the current state and level of AD research; genetic testing; and things you can do to lower your risk of AD (Mediterranean diet, 7-8 hours/night of sleep, 10K steps/day of exercise, and stress reduction).
