Over 700,000 people suffer from Alzheimer's disease in the UK, with the worldwide figure estimated at between 17-20 million.

With these all-important points in mind, he sets out a 10-step plan to enhance your memory with diet, exercise and supplements. He also provides the first comprehensive nutritionally-based Alzheimer's protection plan.
