ive written about this before but it bears repeating since i read once you have to say things 10 times before folks will act on it
so
folks this is the 10th time so act on it
doing these things may slow down your chances of getting alzheimers
i know you are worried that you are going to get it
well
this is what you need to do now and have your kids and grandkids do them also
now i do all these things plus i also do the monthly infusion of the biogen aducanumab each month at ucla
i just had my 2nd for sure aducanumab infuison on monday
so far no side effects noted
yes
do these things and maybe youll remember them when you get older
exercise regularly
like the nike ad says just do it and do it regularly get moving doing something
it increases blood flow to the brain providing more oxygen and food to the brain cells
they last longer that way
it also lowers blood pressure and helps with a sense of well being which is important
get a good night sleep
its the sleep where the brain gets recharged and the garbage cells clean up all the debris that accumulates
eat the mind diet
this may decrease things significantly in the dementia risk category
its not complicated click on this mind diet link
relieve stress
stress causes too much steroids in the brain
use meditation yoga or something that relaxes you
i use my gardening to relax and exercise
socialize
that social interaction is important like clubs volunteering church etc
learn new things
this makes new brain cells
some folks i know are learning a new language
control your blood pressure and cholesterol
whats good for the heart is good for the brain
dont be afraid to use meds if thats what it takes to control these
control your weight
if you have the apoe 4 gene and you are overweight then you will probably get alzheimers disease much sooner
brush and floss every day
the inflammation and the bacteria in the gums and teeth can get transferred to the brain
in the development of alzheimers its amyloid then tau then inflammation
do brain games
this also makes new brain cells
read a lot or write a lot or do games or learn a new language
consider supplements
they havent been proven to definitely help but they havent been disproved
i personally take them since i feel like i cant wait for these to be proven to work or not
so i go ahead and take them
warning again dont take them without discussing them with your doctor
you can also go to webmd.com and check your supplements against your meds to see if they interact with each other
protect your head
falls or bike wrecks can damage your brain which increases your risk
take care of your gut germs
normal gut germs can prevent inflammation that transfers to the brain
this may be important in several neurological diseases like alzheimers and parkinsons
this is where the mind diet helps
i also take a gut bacteria pill every day
take drugs when they become available
look for research studies like mine at clinicaltrials.gov or www.alz.org
by doing clinical trials you can get access long before they become available
eg
my drug aducanumab if it gets approved will be available probably around 2022
by that time i will have had it for 4-6 years
remember in the near future they will be treating you long before you develop symptoms
here is the article i read as a reference for this blog
so finally
do all of these things to lower your chances of developing alzheimers disease
so
yes there are ways to slow this disease down some
