THE 4 PILLARS OF
Alzheimer’s PreventionTM
Why Women Are Still Getting Crushed By Alzheimer’s President’s Message
About two years ago, I shared with you that women were taking the brunt of the Alzheimer’s epidemic. Well, unfortunately, it’s still true.
Several very recent articles in leading medical journals like Menopause and Alzheimer’s and Dementia, are trying to tackle this burgeoning issue. They enumerated multiple vulnerabilities women have that increase their risk for developing Alzheimer’s. Indeed, two-thirds of the over 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s are women, and they account for about 65% of the more than
15 million unpaid caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease.
Moreover, as real a concern as breast cancer is to women’s health, women in their 60’s are about twice as likely in their lifetime to get Alzheimer’s as breast cancer. One risk factor may be that women live longer than men, and age is the greatest risk factor, but this theory seems to only account for a portion of the higher risk. Studies are pointing at mid-life brain changes, starting in the late 40s and into the 50s, and specifically at how post-menopausal women show clear changes in how they process new learning and retrieval of information. Therefore, lower levels of the hormones estradiol and estrogen seem to play a significant role in memory function with age.
The good news is that there is emerging science that once again reveals that your ARPF’s 4 Pillars of Alzheimer’s Prevention will help everyone, men and women, to decrease their risk.
One factor, stress, is now discussed as a major risk factor in women.
My advice is to learn about stress management and, more importantly, follow all of our 4 Pillars. Most importantly, please avail yourself to our scientifically proven, simple, affordable, fast, and highly effective 12 minute, stress-relieving, brain-enhancing exercise called Kirtan Kriya.
Right now you can enjoy this exercise and also order the easy, 11-page booklet that explains it all called How To Meditate. They are available at www.alzheimersprevention.org.
As the year is quickly coming to an end, I want to thank you for your continued support. Please consider a year-end donation to fund awareness and research programs that help all individuals at risk.
With my warmest wishes for a safe and Happy Holiday Season and a Healthy and Happy New Year.
Yours in Brain Health, DHARMA SINGH KHALSA, M.D. Founding President/Medical Director

“The 4 Pillars of Alzheimer’s Prevention” is published quarterly by the Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation.
I was drawn to the Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation because this is a cause I care about on a personal level. My aunt passed away last year after a 15-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease, and watching her memory fade and body deteriorate over the years was heartbreaking. Even more heartbreaking was watching the emotional and physical toll it took on my uncle – her husband of fifty years and primary caregiver.
The ARPF’s research on holistic prevention is a glimmer of hope that if we start early with healthy
habits and the utilization of The Four Pillars of Prevention, it is possible to stave off Alzheimer’s.
As the Social Media Manager for the ARPF, I help get the word out about our research, events, new findings, and tips for promoting brain health so that we can reduce the number of people afflicted with this disease in the future.
If these lifestyle changes can prevent you or your loved one from suffering the way my aunt and uncle have, it is our job to share this message and these strategies with as many people as possible. We hope you will help us by following ARPF on social media, and spreading the word about your ARPF.

— Caitlin King-Khoury, MNpS
We wish you Season’s Greetings and
a Joyous New Year
ARPF’s 4 Pillars of Alzheimer’ Prevention program brochures have been
a wonderful resource for me to utilize in our retirement community and
short term rehab. The patients seem very happy to realize that there are
ways that they can take control to prevent memory loss. The thought
of memory loss/Alzheimer’s is very scary.
The “Brain Aerobics” brochure is great because it provides simple,
easy ways to keep the brain active. My patients are often pleasantly
surprised at how many of the activities they already complete and
others that can be easily incorporated into their daily activities.

The Power ofBrain Aerobics:Maximize your Memory
Reading Stimulates Your BrainThe most common mistake people make in terms of mental activity is watching too much
television. Watching too much
television takes away from time that
could be spent on activities, such as reading,
that stimulate your brain. Reading is uniquely beneficial for the brain,
as it requires active engagement of the mind
and imagination, powerfully stimulating
both brain hemispheres. The bottom line is that thinking can improve
the connections in your brain and thus improve
your memory. Almost any mental activity will
fulfill the brain’s needs, but the brain especially
enjoys exercise in the areas of language,
numbers, reasoning, and spatial organization.
Examples of Brain Aerobic Exercises:• Volunteering• Singing songs• Memorizing lists• Shopping by memory• Learning a new language• Discover computer brain training
• Discussing headlines and current events
• Engaging in music, art, and other hobbies
• Doing jigsaw puzzles and crossword puzzles
• Reading and then talking about what you read
Try a different one each day and see how much
your memory improves. Notice that reading the
newspaper, talking about current events with a
friend, playing along with Jeopardy and Wheel
of Fortune, and then playing a game of Scrabble
would give you about four hours of mental
exercise in just one day!Try this Creative Brain Exercise:
Turn a book, or other printed material, upside
down and read it out loud for ten minutes.
You may notice that reading upside down
takes a lot of concentration and focus.
This is because it causes a visual workout,
a verbal workout, and a perceptual workout,
all at the same time. It is an all-around great
activity to stimulate your brain.
The important thing about mental
activity is not what you do, but
merely that you do something.
Adding Zest to Brain AerobicsEveryone of a certain age remembers where they
were on November 22, 1963 when President
John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Today, we all
recall where we were and what we were doing
on 9/11. That's because these were tremendously
emotional moments in our lives.Although these particular events were tragic
moments, they illustrate how emotion can help
improve our memory. Attaching color, sound,
and smell to your memories also works. Therefore, to boost your memory power,
make these attachments. For example:
• If you are following directions and need
to turn onto Green Street and Windy Lane,
picture a green meadow with a breeze
rippling across it.• Make acronyms by stringing the first letters
of words together. If you meet Cathy, Amy,
and Tracy, remember their names by
remembering ‘CAT. ’
Advice from Dr. Dharma“Everyone should spend at least 20
minutes, three times a week, doing
mental exercise. That’s not very much
time at all, considering how many ways
there are to exercise your brain. In fact,
you are probably already practicing
quite a few mental exercises in your
daily life and don’t even know it.For example, you and your spouse or
significant other can discuss a newspaper
article, magazine article, movie you
saw, or a book you are both reading.
I call this activity ‘headline discussion.’My advice is to become active as well as
involved, and to discuss the things that
you’ve done in detail with someone else.
It will not only be beneficial to your
brain, but you’ll enjoy it!Moreover, discovering meaning in life
and having passion and purpose has been
revealed to actually decrease your risk
of developing Alzheimer’s disease. In this
way, you will claim the dual benefits of
pleasure and optimal health.”
The most productive exercisesfor these areas include reading,
writing, drawing, playing word games,
computer games and board games,
conversing, engaging in stimulating
hobbies, and especially volunteering.

Working Towards Prevention Since 1993
This fall, ARPF stepped up to join 100 other health “champion” organizations serving Maricopa County, Arizona, who are dedicated to “impact real-time, critical health issues where we live, where we work, where we learn, and where we seek care”. The Health Improvement Plan for Maricopa County, HIPMC, was launched in 2012 with a firm focus on five public health issues that rose to the top during
a lengthy county-wide assessment, namely: Obesity; Diabetes; Lung Cancer; Cardiovascular Disease; and Access to Health Care.
These issues were selected both because of their widespread impact on many citizens in Maricopa, the 4th largest county in the US, and because it was believed significant improvements could be achieved on many levels over the 5-year life of the plan.
ARPF is collaborating with other local nonprofits and government agencies to bring its specific knowledge to their staff and the communities they serve with the goal of helping to address these conditions. Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are risk factors for dementia and all respond positively to healthy lifestyle choices like those included in ARPF’s 4 Pillars of Alzheimer’s Prevention Program.
The strength of the 4 Pillars Program is that it easily explains proper prevention strategies to reap benefits for both body and brain health. ARPF’s clinical research shows stress management (Pillar 2) reaps multiple benefits for both body and brain health. For example, as we age or contract a disease like those above, we are less able to handle stress and lower the harmful stress hormone, cortisol, which damages cells in the brain’s memory center. When stress-relaxation techniques are used regularly, benefits include lowered cortisol, improved mental function, improved heart function, reduced anxiety, lessened chronic pain and increased longevity. A huge impact for a modest investment of time!

ARPF Research Update
Page 4 | www.alzheimersprevention.org
We are delighted to share news about two young medical professionals whose enthusiasm for the prevention of Alzheimer’s is already making an impact in the field. Not only are they making significant contributions to this important body of work, but they’re inspiring us with evidence that the team of professionals dedicated to Alzheimer’s prevention is just growing larger, and includes some truly outstanding members of the next generation. During this Thanksgiving season, that’s even more to be grateful for.
Following is some information about these two dedicated professionals:
HARRIS EYRE, M.D., Ph.D.Dr. Eyre is a physician and researcher from Melbourne, Australia who recently completed a Fulbright Scholarship at UCLA, under the mentorship of Helen Lavretsky, M.D. This is where he became interested in integrative medicine and yoga as a therapeutic modality. He won the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) 2016 Junior Research Awards as a result of his work on the ARPF-sponsored study on Kirtan Kriya Yoga Meditation for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
In the study that earned him this honor, researchers looked at the effects of yoga meditation on adults with MCI. They compared the effects of Memory Enhancement Training (MET) to the effects of yoga, and across all outcomes found that yoga provided benefits equal to or greater than MET. Findings included that “verbal memory improvements were equal for
yoga and MET at 3 months, but better for yoga at 6 months;” “executive function improvements were greater for yoga than MET at both 3 and 6 months;” and “yoga had greater impact” in terms of lessening the symptoms of depression, as described in Dr. Eyre’s presentation slides. The full findings can be found in the article published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 52(2), April 2016.
Harris Eyre, MD is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Adelaide and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne and Deakin University, Australia.
DAVINA SASSOONDavina graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington and is now a third-year medical school student who is taking the Complementary and Integrative Medicine elective at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. She became so interested in the results of Kirtan Kriya (KK) application that she wrote one of the best written articles on this yoga meditation technique that we have seen to date. Of particular interest in this article is how effective KK is, including how it works better than relaxation alone. The applicability of this yoga to patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers is so exciting. Since activity level and mobility prerequisites are not necessary, KK could prove helpful for so many people, possibly those who could use it most.
