Key points include:
Microbiome and Antivirals: New evidence suggests that the brain’s microbiome may play a role in Alzheimer’s. Antiviral medications, similar to those used for cold sores, could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by over 90%.
Vaccination: There is a correlation between receiving certain vaccines and a lower risk of Alzheimer’s, although vaccines can have risks.
Dietary impact: A Mediterranean diet, which avoids saturated fats, has been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s.
Exercise: Regular brisk walking can help regenerate the hippocampus, which is crucial for memory.
Antioxidants: Antioxidants, particularly vitamin E, may also play a role in reducing Alzheimer’s risk.
Omega-3 fatty acids: While omega-3 supplements are popular, there are concerns about their link to prostate cancer, suggesting a focus on natural sources instead.
Berries and anthocyanins: Foods rich in anthocyanins, like berries, are beneficial for brain health.
