Explanatory Synthesis Notes

What are you explaining?

Throughout this paper I am looking to explain how although there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease there are surprisingly ways that we have found in order to prevent Alzheimer's disease from occurring in human beings. It is vital that we take the time to realize that these prevention are relevant and if they are used they could save millions of people from receiving this disease which will not only help them but their loved ones as well who are stuck with the day to day struggles of living or simply dealing with the complications that the Alzheimer's patient has. It is something that no one or no family should have to experience or watch another loved one experience. Through prevention we can help to stop a lot of possible cases of Alzheimer's and protect more human beings.

Summarize the information from the source.

The articles that I have chose are quite relevant and greatly relate to my overall topic that I am going to be addressing throughout this synthesis. The one article discusses studies that have proved how certain daily habits and exercises help people avoid Alzheimer disease and the other two articles discuss nuns and how many of them have not received the disease and have lived up to an old age because of the certain things that they do to prevent the disease from getting to them and their brains. This source will set a great example and will hopefully be seen as fascinating to the reader or the audience of my paper. I believe that the three of these sources will be perfect in expanding my paper and adding more insight for my reader into the world of Alzheimer's and all that we can do to end it and ensure that it is not a part of our future. It will also hopefully spread the message and make people realize that they themselves play a factor in determining whether or not they will receive this harmful and deteriorating disease. It is amazing how these nuns in the article from the New York Times could actually play a role in scientific study in determining what habits or activities keep someone from receiving Alzheimer disease. The nuns are even willing to donate their brains to science once they have died in order to allow for greater research and hopefully a greater window into the world of Alzheimer's and how it can be controlled and how we can hopefully find answers to cure this disease. I am really excited to use these sources in my paper.
