Alzheimer’s Is On The Rise
Dementia is a big problem and growing every day. Ten percent of 65-year olds, 25 percent of 75-year olds, and 50 percent of 85-year olds will get Alzheimer’s disease — at a cost of $60 billion a year to society. Worse, the number of people with Alzheimer’s is predicted to triple in the next few decades. It is now the seventh leading cause of death.
9 Steps to Reversing Dementia
1. Pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome
3. Depression
4. Deficiencies in B vitamins, especially vitamin B12
5. Omega-3 fat deficiencies
6. Mercury or other heavy metal toxicity
9. Unique genes that predispose you to nutritional or detoxification problems
Once you identify the underlying causes of the imbalance, here are a few things that can help your mind get a tune-up:
1. Balance your blood sugar with a whole foods, low glycemic diet
2. Exercise daily — even a 30-minute walk can help
3. Deeply relax daily with yoga, meditation, biofeedback, or just deep breathing
4. Take a multivitamin and mineral supplement
5. Take an omega-3 fat supplement
6. Take extra vitamin B6, B12, and folate
7. Take vitamin D & spend 15-20 minutes daily in the sun
8. Treat thyroid or low sex hormones
9. Get rid of mercury, cadmium, aluminum and other metals through a medical detoxification program
