Causes and risk factors. Like all types of dementia, Alzheimer's is caused by brain cell death. It is a neurodegenerative disease, which means there is progressive brain cell death that happens
over time. In a person with Alzheimer's, the tissue has fewer and fewer
nerve cells and connections.
Energy activity and movement, small and often self Balancing and blood flow to the brain .
This is based on my simple way of life so your list my use some of these or not
Stress and not challenges shrinks the brain so make certain that you love what you do
Challenges are not stressful if you wait and understand them, thy are infact productive to brain function .
everything should be based on this Love what you do thinking in fact if your doing it because you think you should ,your not really listening to your body so you are already on a decline anyway why are you doing it anyway.
Don't retire from the things you love to do.Work isn't work if you enjoy it
.Brisk walking three times a week for 30-40 minutes or bike ride or Run if that's your thing
Dancing is Great for you too ,
Mind activity
Play computer mind games competitively or noncompetitive needs to be challenging but take your time and do it slowly to start with .[use it or lose it ]
If you do a full days gardening, or are still working at something physical for part of the day
that's your exercise for the day.
It is better to catnap[ or meditate on nature for 10 minutes in the sun in your garden or park, between physical actions .that extended yourself to heavy breathing [yes that's fine if your lucky enough]
Don't over use heavy metals in diet or supplementation [Iron Copper Zinc ]
smoking contains heavy metals too ,
Water
Let the tap run for a few seconds before drinking the water, then fill a jug leave in your space for a few hours [not the fridge ] with the daily amount drinking it slowly throughout the day this way it goes into your tissue and not just down the Loo
Don't use any supplementation without understanding why you need it,as we are all different .
I use my own Stress B complex breakfast and lunch and Calcium Magnesium Complex powder at night as my regular supplementation to balance who I am and what I do with my day .
Keep diet simple and full of energy and as near live as possible
Diet
.Avoid over use of animal fats and,trans fats Omega six oils unless contains 3 and 9 also preserved goods Basic food of 40 years ago .simple really if you dont like it do not eat it .
Salads ,and a general diet of Vegetables with the addition of 10% -15 % protein if needs be from other forms as well as chicken legs or fish
When I eat fruit I avoid other foods due to the digestion time as it is so short before fermentation [gas] sets in while other foods are still Digesting for hours after .
A good digestive enzyme complex maybe useful to get the best out of your food as you age your liver and pancreas maybe not producing enough to breakdown food correctly in the correct time anyway
I find it best to Eat most of my food by lunchtime. never try sleeping after eating or within four hours as your body is still working .
Small amounts of Dairyif able to but only .avoiding cheese if unwell or if you have sinus difficulty's
.Added Sugar[[or replacements ] are not foods so has no Place in anyone's diet
Coffee if you must in the Am never later than 2 pm particularly if you are a sensitive like me .
Water
Sip water from a good supply after standing slowly throughout the day,
a large amount is not required as most of my food contains mainly water [fruit and vegetables]
Fruit juices
Are not natural, and thy are acidic
Sleep Patterns
The Worst thing to do regarding sleep and your health is to worry about not getting enough while trying to do so
I f your condition means that you are inactive you will not require a great deal of sleep more importantly it is about restfulness and yes more than you need is not helpful
Personally 5-6- hours sleep works well for me with a bit of chatting in between in the winter as I have less to do then and have no reason to get up as in the summer at 6.00 am .
Most conditions will correct themselves if you balance your input to match your output what you do with your day and how you do it ] its about understanding self and if you use google information make certain that it is used to correct the reason why your body is not working the way you wish
Just saying automatically each time that its because your old, is a give up ! and not a solution avoid treat symptoms with just another label drug unless it is treating why you have the condition itself
Live your life and have Fun with it or your just waiting in the waiting for God Que
With Respect to your body's
