How can Alzheimer's be stopped?

How can Alzheimer's be stopped? What causes Alzheimer's in the first place? And how can you minimize your own risk of developing Alzheimer's?

September 21 is World Alzheimer's Day.

A gloomy picture - Alzheimer's disease

Researchers predict that around 106 million people will develop Alzheimer's disease by 2050. It is already the seventh most common cause of death!

Alzheimer's usually begins gradually, which makes it difficult to recognize the disease at an early stage. 

➤ 10% of 65-year-olds, 25% of 75-year-olds and 85% of 85-year-olds will develop dementia or Alzheimer's in the future!

Nutrition is the cornerstone of a good memory!

Studies have shown that certain lifestyle factors, such as diet, are the driving forces behind dementia and Alzheimer's disease. There are links between Alzheimer's and other diet-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes or heart disease. It becomes clear that all these diseases have a common origin and can also be combated together.

➤ Diabetics have a 4x higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease!

What influence does diet have on Alzheimer's?

Over the past 60 years, medical authorities have warned intensively that saturated fats cause heart disease. The result? All fats were restricted - even the good ones. Instead, the consumption of carbohydrates increased.

The consequence of a low-fat diet

Scientists have found that a diet rich in carbohydrates but low in fats is devastating for the brain. The fat phobia of recent years is therefore responsible, among other things, for the sharp rise in Alzheimer's disease!

What you absolutely need to know

• A poor diet is the first step towards Alzheimer's! The brain cannot work properly without fats. 
• The avoidance of fat and the overconsumption of carbohydrates together form the heart of Alzheimer's!

➤ A high-carbohydrate diet increases the risk of dementia by 89%, while a high-fat diet reduces the risk by 44%!

The key to good brain health

Alzheimer's can be reversed or improved if the disease is detected early enough. Changing your diet is particularly important here. Make sure you combine very little sugar and carbohydrates with lots of healthyfats.

Healthy fats are the key to good brain health. They not only prevent Alzheimer's, but also diabetes and heart disease! In addition, mood swings are balanced, inflammation is reduced, concentration is improved and energy levels are increased.

However, the type of fat is crucial. You should avoid trans fats or modified fats and instead switch to healthy fats such as avocados, cold-pressed olive oil, high-fat fish, butter made from raw milk from pasture-fed cows, coconut oil, organic egg yolks or raw dairy products.

✓ Studies confirm that omega-3 fatty acids make an important contribution to cognitive function.

➤ Alzheimer's is the 7th most common cause of death!

So how can you reverse Alzheimer's and boost your brain health?

1.

 change your diet

As already mentioned, the first step is to radically change your diet. In other words, drastically reduce your sugar and carbohydrate consumption. Excess amounts of these act like poison for our brain. Instead, consume healthy fats with plenty of omega-3.

DHA - the breakthrough in Alzheimer's research

A diet rich in the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA significantly reduces the risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease. With the help of these fatty acids, pre-dementia and dementia can be prevented or even reversed at an early stage.

The fatty acid DHA is considered a guardian for your brain. DHA is also the main structural fat in brain tissue. It is involved in the development and function of the central nervous system and the synapses in the brain.

✓ Studies prove that DHA can improve memory by up to 12%!

2. take nutritional supplements to support your diet

Supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 and other B vitamins, vitamin D, ginkgo and probiotics help in the fight against Alzheimer's. Make sure that your body is optimally supplied with all the important vitamins and nutrients.

3. detoxify your body

Heavy metals (especially aluminum) are directly linked to the risk of Alzheimer's disease. This is because heavy metals accumulate in the brain and cause severe neurological damage. Studies show that heavy metals can even accelerate Alzheimer's disease. Detoxification can be achieved with chlorella, milk thistle or MSM, for example.

4. exercise daily

No, 1-2 times a week is not enough! But a half-hour walk a day makes a significant difference. Studies show that physical activity can halt or at least slow down the progression of cognitive impairment and brain diseases such as Alzheimer's. 

 5. keep yourself mentally fit

Mental activity has a positive effect. People who keep themselves intellectually alert are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who are barely mentally active.

Reverse Alzheimer's now!

Diet is largely responsible for the development of Alzheimer's disease. So change your diet and make sure that you stay physically and mentally fit.

Start taking action against Alzheimer's today!
