THIS Condition Ups Your Alzheimer’s Risk 40%

If you ask your mainstream doc what causes Alzheimer’s, you probably won’t get much more than a shrug.
You see, conventional medicine has NO CLUE what causes this devastating disease…
And that’s why it’s now close to being a FULL-BLOWN EPIDEMIC in this country.
But you don’t have to be the next victim.
Because researchers have just found that having a certain condition ups your Alzheimer’s risk nearly 40 percent.
Fortunately, there are some easy ways to avoid it.
I’m talking about anemia – a condition that reduces your red blood cell count.
Red blood cells are essential for healthy blood because they help carry life-giving oxygen to your brain. And without them, your brain cells can start to die off and cause Alzheimer’s symptoms.
And a new study shows just how dangerous anemia is for your brain.
For the study, published in the journal Neurology, scientists tracked the levels of hemoglobin – a key indicator of anemia – and Alzheimer’s stats of 12,000 People over a 12- year period.
At the end, they found that folks with the lowest hemoglobin experienced a WHOPPING nearly 40 percent increase in their Alzheimer’s risk.
Luckily, there’s an easy way to NEVER get anemia in the first place.
You see, it’s impossible to create hemoglobin without enough iron and B vitamins. And as you age, your levels of these nutrients naturally plummet.
That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’re getting enough of these essential vitamins and minerals.
And all you have to do is load up on more iron-and-vitamin-b-rich foods like grass-fed beef, beets, leafy greens, and beans.
