“Green Cleaner” SCRUBS Away Alzheimer’s
Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
There’s nothing like a good spring cleaning.
All the dusting and mopping and baseboard scrubbing isn’t fun, but once you’re finished and your house is sparkling, it makes it all worth it.
And when it comes to your brain, there’s nothing like a good scrubbing to keep your memory humming along.
Now researchers have discovered that this “green cleaner” can help clear out dangerous plaques, keeping your memory safe from Alzheimer’s disease.
Here’s everything you need to know.
If you’re a regular Living Well Daily reader, you’ve probably heard the story of what causes Alzheimer’s.
The nerves in your brain slowly become coated with a sticky plaque that disturbs their power to function… which then wipes away your memory.
But now, you can REVERSE the process.
A new study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that CBD (or cannabidiol) can help REMOVE plaque from the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
CBD is a non-psychoactive compound taken from the cannabis (marijuana or hemp) plant. CBD does not make you have that high feeling – even though it comes from the marijuana plant.
And now it could be your best bet against Alzheimer’s disease, thanks to two major things.
You see, there are two proteins called TREM2 and IL-33 that “vacuum” plaque and keep your neurons clean and functioning.
But when these proteins are turned off, the plaque builds up.
And the study found that CBD flipped these proteins back on.
Not only that, it also lowered the function of a bad protein called IL-6. When IL-6 levels are high, this means inflammation is happening. And inflammation is the LAST thing you want when you’re trying to prevent Alzheimer’s.
So how can you harness the power of CBD for yourself?
A word of caution: make sure you are getting a good quality product. You can find many low-potency products at your local store or gas station that will do nothing for you. If you’re unsure what to look for, talk to a functional medicine doctor to find out more.
P.S. CBD isn’t just for your brain. Did you know it could help fight this type of cancer as well? Find out more right here.
