Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia that affects millions of people around the world. It can cause a person to lose their memory, ability to think clearly, and even their independence.

Parts of Brain Affected

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of all cases. Dementia is a general term for decline in cognitive function due to disease or injury. Alzheimer’s specifically affects the areas of the brain responsible for memory, language, and thinking.

Cause of Alzheimer’s

The cause of Alzheimer’s is still unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Age is the biggest risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s, with the majority of cases occurring in people over 65 years old though cases in younger people is becoming more common. Other risk factors include family history, previous head injuries, and Down syndrome.

Symptoms

There is no one symptom that indicates someone has Alzheimer’s disease. However, common early symptoms include memory loss, difficulty completing familiar tasks, and changes in mood or personality. As the disease progresses, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, difficulty speaking, and an inability to care for oneself.

Is There a Cure?

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there are treatments available that can improve symptoms and help people live independently for longer. These treatments include medication, cognitive training exercises, support groups, and a clinical study using infrared light is showing some great promise.

Dr Paul Chazot is a Senior Lecturer at Durham University and is leading the research of using infrared light therapy to reverse dementia symptoms by triggering nerve cell repair and increasing blood flow to the brain with the use of a special medical device that is worn on the head. Watch video below for more details and to see what this device looks like.

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating condition that affects millions of people around the world. However, by understanding the facts about Alzheimer’s, we can better support those who are affected by it. A great source for more information is the Alzheimer’s Association.

Just six minutes of using this device twice a day is showing amazing results.

With the immense advancement in portable devices like our cell phones and tablets we have an infinite amount of information at our fingertips. This is an amazing thing, but it also comes at a price to our health.

Our brain is like a muscle and if we don’t use it, we lose it. We are relying and have become more and more dependent on using our digital devices instead of the greatest intelligence machine that we have been blessed with – our brain.

Healthy Cup of Coffee

I personally do not need a cup of coffee to get my day started, but on occasion I do enjoy a good cup of joe (maybe 3-4 times per week). However, I do not make a pit stop at my local Starbucks or DD (some of those coffees contain more sugar than a can of soda), instead I make mine in the following way for a nice boost of health benefits…

Ingredients:

Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee – I personally use the one with Lion’s Mane and Chaga to add a nice boost to my brain for increased focus and productivity. No, this coffee does not taste like mushrooms, but you sure do get the benefits!

Grass Fed Collagen Peptides – if you’re a vegetarian, you might not want to add this; but if not, this is great for your skin and hair health. I personally use the Thrive Market brand. It’s tasteless so don’t worry about it adding any unwanted flavor to your coffee.

Grass Fed Butter – real butter is healthier than all butter substitutes. Healthy fat that is excellent for your gut and brain health. Blending it will create a nice a delicious froth without using any creamer or milk (which you shouldn’t be drinking anyway).

Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil – this is designed to amplify ketosis and fuel our brain and body. It is flavorless and does not contain Lauric Acid.

Coffee is an excellent source of polyphenols, helps to improve cognition, and has been associated with reducing risk of dying from heart disease, diabetes, & lung disease. Just make sure to use good quality coffee (to eliminate risk of mold often found in industrial coffee beans) and leave out all the sugary crap and creamers!
