Michael and Steve share more risk factors for Alzheimer’s/dementia and give practical tips on how to slow or stop the disease by changing your lifestyle with “baby steps”.
Did you know that being female is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s? So is head trauma, and social isolation where there’s little interaction with others or mental stimulation. Aluminum cookware and antiperspirants containing aluminum are also risks.
So how can we slow or prevent Alzheimer’s?
Participate in a healthy social lifeGet enough important nutrients, such as Gingko Biloba and Gotu KolaEliminate or reduce fatty foods, fried foods, and dairy productsEliminate or reduce the use of aluminum cookwareChange to non-aluminum personal care itemsGet enough physical exercise, including outdoor activitiesParticipate in mentally stimulating games and activitiesFinally, never assume others have all the answers for your life and health. (Michael drives this point home with a startling account of what researchers discovered after various doctor strikes at hospitals around the world.)
Be proactive and do your research. Most importantly, listen to your own intuition.
