Defeating Dementia - Part 1 with Guest Dr. Richard Furman

Alzheimer's is a cruel disease, mainly because it robs its victims of precious memories of childhood, marriage, and family. Fortunately, recent studies assert that it’s only genetically inevitable for 5% of the population. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Richard Furman, author of Defeating Dementia, explains that dementia is not a foregone conclusion as we get older. In fact, exercising 5 days a week and making mindful food choices can cut its likelihood by 67%!
