      Alzheimer's is something worth looking into under a different light, understand what the normal human frequency is otherwise find the equilibrium.
      As the human frequency drops the human brain will shrink, the longer it's left the more in taters the brain will be. Early detection is best defence.
      When you find a person with Alzheimer's discover that persons frequency then up that persons frequency to what the equilibrium is. Test to find out
      what a younger persons freq is who doesn't have Alzheimer's and so on and so forth. To cut a long story short deliver the right charge of frequency
      through the fingers and yes, puff out his/her brain.

      my dad from altzheimers .He ate very healthy.Never smoked.Never drank. He was super fit.He worked day and night and never had enough sleep.At the age of 55 he retired because he suddenly could not catch a ball and got worried.After this he was OK again but we think he already had it.he was very clever and could compensate for the things going wrong in his brain.At 75 he suddenly showed the sighns amd the docter said he was in the last stage it was over.The only factor in his life was the lack of sleep.

    Resting heart rate, blood pressure, liver function, test. levels, cholesteral, vitamin defficiency, etc....not to brag but I came back as superb on all but blood pressure where it was ok. So I am going to test every year and keep on top of it. Prevention is BETTER than a cure.

      Genes may load the gun, but lifestyle and diet pulls the trigger. There's strong evidence that healthy lifestyle habits - such as diet, exercise and not smoking - may play a role in reducing your risk of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.

    The activity issue is definitely true. I'm a writer and I find my imagination works better when I'm at work; and there's a lot of moving about. Only problem is, I can't just stop and start scribbling down what I want to remember.
    I explained it to my doctor and he thought it was interesting. "The back wheel of a bike won't move unless the front wheel is going. There IS an interconnection between physical exercise and mental acuity.
    On the other hand, I'm not sure such things are a 100% guarantee for preventing Alzheimer's. In the movie *Still Alice* , the leading character was physically active AND intellectually sharp. She got early onset Alzheimer's from her father's side of the family. Eventually, she was no longer running and barely talking.

    I had a business where I saw the same group of people every two weeks. In my 35 years the one thing I noticed is the heavy drinkers all ended up with what was called dementia then. When they realized they were losing it, they drank more. Booze is definitely related to Alzheimer's.

Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR KOJO helped someone in curing his Herpes virus, quickly I copied his contact and I spoke to him, he told me that there is no medical hospital that has the cure for herpes virus, I was surprise when I heard that from him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal remedy to me which he did then he asked me to go for a medical checkup after some days after using the herbal remedy behold I was free from this herpes virus, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now please BROTHER, SISTER, MOTHER and FATHER, he is a great man, I own him in return. if you are having a similar problem just Contact him on>kojosolutionhome@**yahoo.com*

    We cant or must not close the door fully on the genetics. The dominant inheritance genes that are very rare are a different story. But the more common genes like APOE 4 are subject to at least partial amelioration through the lifestyle choices or epigenetics. But at the same time it must be borne in mind that nothing gives you absolute immunity. Despite doing these tips religiously if you are that unlucky AD would still hit you but then it would be later on and a not as severe so all hope is not lost. Brain is the Holy Grail for anti aging and prevention of AD and anti aging are synonyms. The most powerful and less well known fact is POSITIVE ATTITUDE towards life and becoming old. If you welcome the old age and are happy to grow old you would be far less likely to get it. If you are going to keep sulking about it you are in big trouble, The positive attitude is likely the most dominant fact.

Also re: concussions does this mean most athletes who have had concussions will get some form of dementia? How can doing all these things prevent the plaques that have been found in the brains of dementia patients? How are dementias divided into the different types such as Alzheimer’s, Body Lewy, etc. Thanks.

      Alzheimer’s victims are genetically predisposed to get the disease. All of this advice is generally good but if you have parents, siblings, aunts and uncles who died from the disease then you are at greater risk. I am one of those people. Three of my older sisters died from Alzheimer’s as well as two aunts. We think it was my mother’s mother who carried the gene.

There is very littl nutrients left in our soils today, and toxins are many, so it can happen to anyone. Hope your aunt had a good life before.

Because Alzheimer’s has only emerged over the last 100 years, it must be related to the crap, low fat, high carb diet the the government has recommended we eat since the 1970’s! Cut out the seed oils, the processed foods, all sugars! Eat a low carb, high fat and moderate protein diet, eat practice intermittent fasting, yes..and exercise which was in the list! Obviously big Pharma and their prophets and pushers have ZERO answers! It is caused by a deadly diet that has been pushed on us and our children! Obesity is at 40% in the USA!?!

    I'm writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten. Funny thing is decades ago Dr. Oz said Zocor was causing memory loss and then my mother parroted that to everyone, but later on when she said it to a nurse practitioner during his assessment of a MMSE, he said she was delusional for saying that and this nursing home that I had to fight in probate court for 2 months to get my mother out, used it as a way to imprison her in a lockdown unit.

Aquarobics three times a week with lots of fun and laughter, doing my own shopping and driving and mow my own lawns (3/4 of an acre) . Old is a state of mind, ignore it and you will stay healthy

      @@TinekeWilliams Me, too. I'm in my 70s, and the only prescriptions I take are a thyroid medication and glaucoma drops for my eyes. I rarely use an over-the-counter oral pain reliever such as Aleve. More often, I use a pain lotion or pain cream on sore areas, heat liniment, or Biofreeze. I take after my dad in this area, as he didn't believe in popping a lot of pills and rarely saw a doctor for anything. His mind stayed sharp and lucid right up to the day he died. Good mental acuity into old age on my mother's side, as well. Aside from the occasional "senior moment", I still find I have all of my faculties. If I do temporarily forget some small fact, like the name of a flower in my garden, I always manage to remember it later. I do crossword puzzles and variety puzzles to keep my mind sharp. I'm not worried.
      The only thing I have trouble with is some of today's needlessly overly complicated technology, and poorly written "instructions", WHEN any instructions are provided, at all!
      Hubby and I just finished assembling an apparatus that came with NO directions, whatsoever -- we figured it out, but it's customary to provide instructions with products that require assembling. We find this a lot, these days -- no instructions. This is more than a little exasperating, and understandably so.

    My mother Betty has Alzheimer’s now she used to have dementia so I know that I am going to lose my mother eventually from Alzheimer’s . My mother is going to be 93 years old in July. My mother Betty keeps repeating about certain things like how is the weather. My mother Betty should be drinking water instead of ice tea ☕️. My mother Betty fell over their old dog 🐕 Bogart because she was probably not paying attention to what she was doing and watching where she was stepping. My mother Betty needs to take all her medicine that her doctor prescribes for her. My mother Betty needs to get a lot of sleep 🛏.

Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR KOJO helped someone in curing his Herpes virus, quickly I copied his contact and I spoke to him, he told me that there is no medical hospital that has the cure for herpes virus, I was surprise when I heard that from him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal remedy to me which he did then he asked me to go for a medical checkup after some days after using the herbal remedy behold I was free from this herpes virus, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now please BROTHER, SISTER, MOTHER and FATHER, he is a great man, I own him in return. if you are having a similar problem just Contact him on>kojosolutionhome@**yahoo.com*
