8 Pillars of Intervention
Sleep
Distorted sleep with increased sleep latency and sleep fragmentation and decreased deep sleep (REM) or slow wave sleep is associated with an increased incidence of Alzheimer's and increased amyloid deposits in the brain.
Nutrition
Elevated insulin levels were found in a series of 39% of Alzheimer's patients. This is caused by insulin resistance found in individuals with metabolic syndrome, obesity and prediabetes.
Physical Fitness
Lack of regular exercise increases the incidence of brain atrophy and vascular disease. Aerobic exercise decreases vascular disease and stimulates Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), another chemical that stimulates brain growth.
Mental Fitness
Pursuing optimism and positivity and avoiding agitation and anxiety are associated with a reduced incidence of Dementia and reduced deposition of toxic deposits of amyloid and tau proteins in the brain.
Cognitive Stimulation
Lack of frequent daily intellectual activity is associated with an increased incidence of Alzheimer's Disease and brain atrophy.
Brain Stimulation
Age related memory loss is primarily due to declining function of the hippocampal brain network.
Genomics
Although rare, there is an inherited dominant gene that causes Alzheimer's disease twenty or more years earlier than the usual form of Alzheimer's.
Medical Risk Factors
It would be no surprise to learn that many, if not all of the modifiable medical risk factors that cause vascular disease also increase the risk of Alzheimer's Disease.
