one of the worst pains you can have is gout
in the big toe
it ranks with an acute gallbladder attack kidney stone
that big ole red swollen toe
that hurts real bad even if you just look at it
now
a recent study based on data from the uk
looked at a large group of folks
and
found that the incidence of alzheimers disease in
gout sufferers was a 27% less incidence of this disease in
gouty folks
apparently the elevated uric acid levels seen in gout
may have a protective effect in the brain
no pain no gain right
i have written many times here and its in the alzheimers
association recommendations
that we all get on the mediterranean diet
its not a complicated diet
its easily accessible to folks all over the world
fruits vegetables fish lean meat nut olive oil red wine
whats been found in alzheimers research is
that whats good for the heart is good for the brain
now its been shown that someone who eats a
mediterranean diet may have a 47% decrease incidence
of heart disease
sorry but theres no medicine that will do that
wonder what it would do for the brain
we would take half that per cent
then
researchers looked at brains of young people in their 20s who died
and
have found that in many there is already
the bad stuff amyloid accumulation occurring in the brain
so the disease process can start early
real early
i heard recently that they are already treating some young
people who have the gene for alzheimers disease
with the alzheimers vaccine in some studies
it seems to me that the baseline treatment for us all
no matter the age
is
diet
this helps of course in alzheimers disease
but so many other diseases could be slowed down or prevented
by this four letter word
diet
exercise
move a lot every day
walking like talking is cheap
so if you have gout
a bad thing may be a good thing
if you are young it could already be started in you
diet is part of the answer for alzheimers and other diseases
get moving
eat right
start early
if the toe hurts thats ok
