Thanks @johannrandall. I'm sorry to hear about your relative. I did the 23andMe DNA test and actually found out that our whole family (paternal side) has an increased risk for Alzheimer's. Shortly after my father was diagnosed his older sister (my aunt) was as well. From the research I've done a few cups of coffee per day are a good preventative measure to protect your brain. The videos are a wonderful idea too!

It's all good @ericvancewalton. Yeah, I think prevention is key. Knowing that you have that gene (Apoe4 ?) will probably keep you on your toes on keeping you brain healthy. I have also seen a TED talk where the speaker said, no matter if you have the gene or not, as long as you keep your diet in check you'll cut your chances of getting Alzheimer's by a significant amount. He said, less saturated fat and more color in diet.
That's great to know that diet has that large of an effect. Thanks!
