Alzheimer’s disease and what we can do to delay it succesfully

On my last blog post I was talking about the tests needed to detect it early. Once we know that we are prone to some subtype of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), what can we do to succesfully delay it (or even keep it at bay, if we are really lucky, genetically and otherwise).

There are five causes that are usually related to early cognitive decline for every one of us, and we can deal with them optimizing our mental health adequatelly:

• Insulin resistance
• Inflammation and infections
• toxins (can be biological, chemical or physical)
• hormonal balance, nutrients for the brain and trophic factor enhancing
• restoration and protection of synapses (even for lost of dysfunctional ones).

Diet: A Keto-diet can greatly improve in relation with inflammation. This is a good video explaining the dangers of this diet and the benefits of this kind of diet.

Exercise: You will need to make an effort in here, with 5–6 times a week, aerobic and strenght, for 30–50 minutes.

Stress reduction: Meditation, yoga postures and pranayama exercices can greatly help with this issue.

Brain training: 30 minutes 3 times a week or 15 minutes for 6 times a week.
