President's Message
What's Love Got To Do With It?


Greetings!
To really take care of your brain so you can stay sharp all through your life – and do everything possible to prevent Alzheimer’s disease (AD) – requires a unique state of mind. I’m going to call this state of mind “brain love.” You really need to love your brain enough to live a full-on brain longevity lifestyle.

We saw this in my original research in 1995, when I discovered that what works for the heart, works for the head. To live a brain-healthy lifestyle means that you're helping your heart too, and beyond that, your immune system and every other system in your body.

This has been revealed again by ARPF’s great research partner and Scientific Advisory Council member, Miia Kivipelto, MD, PhD, who recently published another important scientific article: Trials and Treatments for Vascular Brain Health: Risk Factor Modification and Cognitive Outcomes. 

Love your brain and make Alzheimer’s prevention a reality.

Yours in Brain Health,

Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.
President / Medical Director

Webinar Review
Thank you for an exceptional discussion on how spiritual practices affect your longevity and quality of life.

Here's what participants had to say:

"Very inspirational speaker. Everything he shared was amazing. Wish we had more time! Maybe a second webinar?"

"Thank you for this informative lecture. The speaker was excellent."

"I enjoyed Dr. Stephen Post's presentation. He reinforced the concept of being kind, helping others and volunteering provides health values, both physical and mental, to both the recipient and the giver."
Outreach
“Social Work with Elders" Essay by Lydia Buckley
"I reached out to the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation for a short informational interview for a project in one of my university classes. I am so grateful for Kirti's kindness and sincerity in answering my questions and for her sharing her knowledge of the ARPF's prevention and research efforts. I learned so much about the ARPF, and I am very thankful for both her time and the amazing efforts of everyone at the ARPF." – Lydia Buckley

The ARPF team is so happy to see our work inspiring students to bring more light to Alzheimer's prevention!
