Hello,

I would first of all like to appreciate the efforts you are taking to keep your father healthy at this age. The diet and the physical activity you mentioned are adequate enough for a good overall health, not only Alzheimer's.

Choosing heavy metal free products can be a plus. The concept I would like to inform you here is that brain plaques and Alzheimer's are due to genetic mutation. This means that if the genetic factors are there and it's expressed then the disease is ought to occur. All the preventive measures you are taking is excellent and do continue them. Do not search for a 100% cure or be fooled by such as it is not available at this point of time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manoj Pradeep
