"Heart Health
The connection of Alzheimer’s with cardiovascular disease would appear to have two primary components: reduced flow of oxygen and nutrients to the brain resulting from restricted arteries, and inflammation of areas of the brain caused by many of the same factors that cause inflammation of arterial tissue, which leads to the hardening of the arteries and the buildup of arterial plaque. Dietary changes, such as avoiding heavy consumption of saturated fats and trans-fatty acids, makes sense. Also, reduce consumption of high omega-6 vegetables oils and supplement with omega-3 fatty acids. Lower homocysteine levels by using a supplement that includes vitamin B12, folic acid, and trimethyl glycine (TMG). Also, regular use of methylation supplements, such as S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe), is useful.
Inflammation
Systemic inflammation is starting to emerge as one of the biggest risk factors you face as you age. It is now implicated in everything from heart disease to cancer to Alzheimer’s. Reducing that inflammation is not difficult. Omega-3 fatty acids play a key role here, so supplementation is crucial. A good systemic proteolytic enzyme formula can also work wonders.
Diabetes
The primary culprit when it comes to diabetes, however, appears to be glycation, the uncontrolled reaction of sugars with proteins. It’s similar to what happens to sugars when you heat them and they caramelize -- glycation is what happens when excess sugars caramelize the proteins in your body. (The caramelized proteins are called AGEs, or advanced glycosylation end-products.) It’s a major factor in the aging process, and it’s particularly devastating to diabetics. Thanks largely to the destructive effect of sugar and aldehydes, the protein in our bodies tends to undergo destructive changes as we age. This destruction is a prime factor, not only in the aging process itself, but also in the familiar signs of aging such as wrinkling skin, cataracts, and the destruction of our nervous system, particularly our brains. So, how does this work in our brains? Quite simply, AGEs contribute to amyloidosis, the process by which beta amyloid plaques are formed in the brain. For therapeutic options that can help reduce advanced glycosylation end-products and the concomitant increase in beta amyloid plaques in the brain, see the recommendations for diabetes earlier in this chapter.
Heavy Metals
Not just aluminum and fluoride but excess levels of all heavy metals, including lead, can cause deterioration of brain function. Regular use of a heavy metal-chelating formula makes a great deal of sense.
Exercise
Regular exercise, not just physical but also mental, is critical. Regular aerobic exercise (interval training, in particular) improves oxygen flow to the brain. Even regular dancing has been shown to help. Weight-bearing exercise can increase human growth hormone production by as much as 800 percent, which is important because HGH can promote the repair of damaged brain cells. And stretching opens up circulation to every area of the body.
Thinking exercises that challenge your mind make a huge difference. Playing bridge, chess, or a musical instrument all help. In fact, studies have shown that people who do just four crossword puzzles a week have a 47 percent reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. What’s a five-letter word beginning with S and ending with T that describes people who understood what I just said?"
