It’s that time of year … hot days and warm nights, occasionally punctuated by a refreshing breeze. We hope this issue of Preserving Your Memory refreshes you in the midst of the summer heat. We kick off this issue with some travel tips for getting about with your loved one with Alzheimer’s (page 8). We also show you how to get the most out of the Internet for health information (page 10). And learn about a recent change to Social Security’s Compassionate Allowance program that will benefit those with early-onset Alzheimer’s (page 32). It’s a great time for barbecue, and we get some good pointers for grilling vegetables for a healthy addition to any meal (page 24). And we keep good health in mind as we look at the importance of strength training for older adults (page 22). This issue’s cover story is a fond look back at the career of Peter Falk, the late actor who was best known as the rumpled, cagey TV detective, Columbo (page 18). We hope your summer is a healthy and happy season! Betsey Odell Editor in Chief If you have stories of your own you would like to see published, please submit them to: betsey@alzinfo.org. We hope you enjoy our publication. |
