What puts you at risk for Alzheimer’s disease? How can you prevent this killer? Based on the results of a four-year study of the medical research literature on Alzheimer s prevention, this video shows the key strategies of prevention. Simple, inexpensive, and easy, they work to prevent Alzheimer’s and more!

I was getting Allergy Shots 2007–and then I got really sick–thought I had a stroke–I blame STRESS, Allergy shots–
now my MRI is showing ACCELERATED PROBLEMS, and I may eventually go into
DEMENTIA,–I am only 43–my grandfather developed it–, I may take control of my own situation if it comes to that point–before I go into Dementia I will put myself on the otherside
While most of the advice in this video may insure good health in general, there is no evidence that doing any one, a combination or all of the recommendations will prevent Alzheimer’s Disease. I found the whole presentation misleading and melodramatic.
How was your grandfather’s diet..???
Right now we live in the Industrial Revolution+ Digital Age Revolution…Even Cell Phones damage brain cells too because of radiation! The air we breathe when we jog outside can harm both our lungs and brain cells.
In ancient times…no one suffered this disease because there was less pollution in the air and their foods weren’t genetically modified, but today it’s just ten times worse.
There has got to be a real cure for this disease…I just hope it comes in the future.
rottiefan says: “Learn foreign languages, textile arts, woodworking, photography, computers or any other subjects. Read as much as you can.”
Sure most people can learn all these things in life, but if they don’t feed the brain with proper foods like Fish, Spinach, eggs, Kale, and herbs like Turmeric Curry and Gingko Biloba…then they have an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Without important vitamins, the pollution will take over your cell membranes over time.
I have to wonder how hope can be false. Hope is hope. But, fortunately, in the case of Alzheimer’s, there’s much more than hope for prevention.
Currently, more than 1000 studies show much more than hope for prevention. Some show help, although not a cure, for those who already have the symptoms.
While no specific cause has been identified, there are several candidates that are amenable to reduction or elimination, such as genetic tendencies and systemic inflamation.
sorry but you are giving people false hope. There is still no firm evidence as to any of the causes. My grandad went down with it and was a Doctor of Sociology at Cambridge. Never drank, never smoked, never used drugs. Never was around anyone smoking. Fair he could be an exeption but you still should’t bandy around these things to be facts. It still could make no difference.
Here are some more suggestions on preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Don’t use any form of tobacco and stay away from second hand smoke. Don’t get drunk and stay away from illegal drugs. Learn foreign languages, textile arts, woodworking, photography, computers or any other subjects. Read as much as you can.
They say that 15% of Alzheimers patients could also have Creutzfeld Jakob Diseas (CJD) . It is a fast moving and always fatal disease. If a patient dies quickly after showing signs of dementia it is most likely CJD
I am saddened to hear of your loss.
Early-onset Alzheimer’s is a variant that appears before age 65. Afflicting about 5% of Alzheimer’s victims, it appears to arise from a malformed gene. Researchers have not discovered how to prevent this rare type. However, the more common types of Alzheimer’s arise much later in life and can be prevented or ameliorated by the steps briefly outlined in this video. In a short video, I cannot address in depth the research findings that support these steps.
The advice you post is very good for daily living, however I am convinced that preventing this disease is far more complex. My Father was the picture of health & fitness, ate as he should and always challenged his mind. We noticed problems at age 59 and lost him at 65. Alzheimer’s was the confirmed culprit and none of us will ever understand how it happened. Hope for a cure….that’s all I believe we can do.
