They say there’s nothing you can do about it.
That when Alzheimer’s strikes… if that tragic day ever arrives… that’s all she wrote.
Well, my friend, I’ve got the inside scoop on what they won’t tell you.
Alzheimer’s isn’t just some mystery disease that lands on you out of the sky one day. And it’s not some unstoppable fate written in your DNA, either.
New research has nailed down the key factors that can set the stage for dementia. And the exciting news is that some of them are almost entirely within your control.
That means quick action NOW could help ensure you never have to suffer this fate yourself. And it could help you live well into your 80s, 90s and beyond sharper than ever.
Drive down Alzheimer’s risk before it’s too late
Some factors are indeed out of your hands. One big risk for Alzheimer’s disease is age, for example. And no one’s found a cure for that yet.
And yes, genetics can play a role too. But not as much as you’d think. While specific DNA mutations can increase your risk for Alzheimer’s, studies have shown that a healthy lifestyle can cancel most of that out.
The new study even confirms that education levels can play a role. And let’s be honest, I don’t think any of us are about to go back to school.
But the new research also nails down a couple of other risk factors for the disease. And they’re almost entirely within your hands.
In fact, you can take some easy steps to turn them around beginning TODAY.
2 steps that could help slash Alzheimer’s risk
The study identified two Alzheimer’s risk factors you CAN do something about.
Factor One – Mood:
How you feel about yourself and the world around you can actually influence your dementia risk. And I don’t mean in some touchy-feely, mind-over-matter, let’s-just-wish-it-away kind of way either.
I’m talking about those real issues we can face, especially as we get older. The ones we don’t like to talk about, such as depression and stress
The new study names these as key risk factors for dementia later in life. So it’s time to STOP ignoring them. Quit “toughing it out” and don’t wait for them to go away on their own.
Work to fight them off with natural therapies instead. Curcumin, for example, in some cases, performs as well as drugs for depression. It can also ease stress AND help fight off cognitive decline, all at the same time.
But wait, that’s not all. This super spice has other brain benefits. Click here to discover how golden-yellow curcumin could help with memory loss and Alzheimer’s symptoms too.
And don’t forget that traditional talk and behavioral therapies are non-drug options that work well for some folks.
Factor Two – Inflammation:
This ties back to the mood business a bit. Because while depression and stress are considered “mental” conditions, surprisingly, they can cause actual inflammation.
And inflammation, the study finds, is a key factor behind Alzheimer’s.
The new study reveals high levels of homocysteine, in particular, will raise your risk. When the level of this amino acid rises too far, it’s associated with inflammation.
The good news is that a standard B complex can cut your homocysteine level back down to size. Plus, those same B vitamins have been shown to help slow the “brain shrink” linked to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s.
Those two factors alone could dial down your dementia risk right from the start. But get cracking with brainteasers, puzzles, or even just a challenging hobby that puts your noggin to work too, and you could lower your risk even further.
The same study finds that less cognitive activity is also a factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. So keeping your brain busy could help lower your risk.
