Alzheimer’s patient, 90, says skiing and other activities keep him mentally sharp
Fox News
Six years after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis, 90-year-old Zelik Bocknek (Zel) refuses to slow down — and he believes his active lifestyle is key to keeping his symptoms at bay.
After being diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s, he was offered the opportunity to join a clinical trial studying an experimental dementia drug. "I am what I am today because I have been very active throughout my life, physically and mentally." "I’m relaxed and going on with my life as best I can, for as long as I can." Melissa Rudy is senior health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to melissa.rudy@fox.com.
Since the trial ended 18 months ago, Bocknek has continued taking the medication and still enjoys his favorite activities, including downhill skiing, painting and volunteering at the local zoo.
