Alzheimer's And Good Health

       It is a slow progressive and terminal disease.. Alzheimer's is a chronic disease and abnormal impairment is a warning sign. About half of all people over the age of eighty-five have Alzheimer's according to the Alzheimer's Association. However this does not mean it is part of "normal aging".
       It appears from my research that the vulnerability to Alzheimer's and other dementia is influenced by your genes. A lifestyle change and the environment can mute the effects.
       This disease has steps. The early Alzheimer's effects your perception of things. You lose balance a little, the room seems to weave under  you. Depth perception is affected. ( this I get from reading a book written by an early Alzheimer's sufferer.)  and balance is affected. You forget directions (left, right, up, down) you forget how to exit parking lots. You don't remember names as readily. Toxic beta-amyloid is building up in the brain. That is just another name for rust that has been brougt about by free radicals killing your cells.
         Cells can grow back. And they do. .By consuming the right foods and nutrients along with supplements we can control the disease. Also by exercising our bodies (Which will send more blood to the head-- our brain needs 20 percent of the blood our heart pumps each minute) and taking control of our blood sugar and stress, we can lower our chances of Alzheimer's.  
           If Alzheimer's is suspected you should consult your neurologist-- try to find a geriatric specialist- who can administer the tests to recognize brain disorder.
           To help yourself drink tea. Start using olive oil in your dressings. Eat nuts. Get your niacin. Get enough sleep. Take care of your teeth. Bad oral hygiene affects your brain.Stop smoking if you do. Take vitamin D. Take B12. Use vinegar in everything as a staple. Coffee is good for you so drink some. Someone has suggested you drink as much as you can stand, but I will leave that up to you. And walk, walk,walk,
          Exercise your brain by thinking and doing something new. Try making a list of ten things- new things-- you would like to engage your brain in and then start doing them. Go out and learn a new language. Start playing video games. Get those neurons stimulated. As it has been said, think outside the box.
          Take a multiple vitamin each day. Go for things rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Restrict your drinking of soda. Eat berries. Take care of yourself.
          A mind is an awful things to lose without a fight. The ball is now in your corner.
