Prevention: Alzheimer's Blog Post #3

Alzheimer's: Prevention

         I've learned so much more since my last blog post about Alzheimer's disease and more importantly, how to prevent it. I will definitely include the six pillars of Alzheimer's prevention in my final project. One thing I've learned about myself throughout this project is that I actually work very well under stress or pressure or confusion. Or all of the above. Whenever I found myself in a pit during this project, I would stop and think about my next move before acting on it. I feel like that's helped me through my research a lot. I've only encountered a few setbacks revolving around confusion or what to do next for my project. I was able to get over them by taking breaks and stopping to think about my progress.
        The next step in my process is to begin my final product. I'm going to try and piece my entire differences list together within the next few weeks. The great thing about choosing Alzheimer's disease as my topic for my 20-time project is that now I know the differences between the actual disease and normal aging, I can tell whether or not I will have it once I'm older. Alzheimer's is genetic in my family, so it's something we need to be really aware of. I can apply the prevention techniques I've learned to my routine to help slow down the process if I ever find myself diagnosed.
