The other morning, Rachel Ray asked her guest, Carter Oosterhouse, if he actually institutes his helpful hints / tips in his own life. Oosterhouse responded by saying that although he had not in the past, he had recently begun taking his own advice.
Since starting this blog, I have shared healthful hints to living a well balanced life. Taking 90% of my own suggestions, I am guilty of not always practicing what I preach. Today's Trend Alert, however, is one that I will pay close attention to.
Recently, a study revealed a correlation between high stress and high rates of alzheimer's disease in middle aged women. Despite the data, scientists believe that more evidence is needed to discover actual risks of developing the disease, rather than just pinpointing a probable cause.
At this point, risk factors fall into the following categories: exercise, nutrition and social interaction. In order to safe guard against the degenerative disease, it is suggested that young women focus their attention on those areas in their lives. Simple lifestyle changes, like taking a morning jog or following this blog (wink, wink), might be a ticket for alzheimer's avoidance!
