you have some control over the outcome
whether or not you get alzheimers
its the 6th and some recent studies suggest its the 3rd leading
cause of death in the united states
yes i wrote you have some control over the outcome
whether or not you get alzheimers
this report on
world alzheimers report 2014 on dementia and risk reduction
can be reviewed at this link
here is an article on a summary of the report
basically
here is togd summary
well ive written this many times
you have control on whether you get dementia and or
how bad it is if you get it
somethings like genetics family tendencies environmental
exposures you cant control
like ddt exposure like carrying the apoe4 gene like your age eg
see that kid in the picture above
put your kid your grand kid your nephew or niece in that picture
do this for them also
so you can control
-your blood pressure especially starting in mid life
its interesting that this time is when the bad stuff
beta amyloid accumulation and tau destruction starts in the brain
again please dont worry about potential side effects of meds
they cant be worse than a stroke heart attack or the most dreaded
disease alzheimers disease
-your diabetes in mid to late life
folks the chances of getting alzheimers if its not controlled
is 50%
that an impressive number
diet and exercise and medicine
even the old diabetic drug metformin may help slow things down
-dont smoke dont start stop if you do
-your cholesterol easily done now a days with medications and
diet and exercise
if you have ever dealt with the family member or friend with
alzheimers the side effects of the cholesterol meds arent that
important
-those things that make a healthy heart make a healthy brain
-exercise
-healthy diet like the mediterranean diet
-your weight as normal as possible
-mentally active all the way through your life
-get as much education as you can
the goal is to enter your late life with a healthy robust brain
with lot of brain cells to withstand the on slot of this terrible
disease
-stay socially active
-control stress anxiety depression
-get adequate sleep
-enjoy your music
also take notice that these things also help in the fight against
stroke heart attack cancer diabetes
so yes you have some control
start now while you are young
although its never too late to start
then finally
we need your help fighting for a cure and treatment
its the nih and the alzheimers association who lead in
providing the research monies for this fight
