[LADIES] Is Your Alzheimer’s Risk 75% Higher?!
Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Women have been left behind by mainstream medicine.
Not only do you have to succumb to multiple, uncomfortable exams, there are STILL no effective medications for basic problems that come with age… like night sweats, painful intercourse, and (safe) hormone replacement therapy.
And now, science has let you down yet again.
Researchers have discovered that women could develop Alzheimer’s disease 75 percent faster than men.
But thankfully, it’s not too late.
And I’m going to tell you EXACTLY what to do to keep your memory and independence.
A recent study found that women’s brains develop Alzheimer’s-causing proteins 75 percent faster than men.
You see, Alzheimer’s disease is caused by a 2-step process.
First, your brain starts overproducing beta-amyloid proteins. These can happen as early as your 40s, and they build a strong foundation for a second type called Tau proteins.
Imagine it like a blocked sink. You’ve got the initial gunk that slows down the drain, but then all of a sudden, MORE gunk has built up on top of that… and no water can get through.
This is very similar to what happens in your brain. When the Tau and beta-amyloid proteins build up, your neurons can no longer communicate.
For the study, researchers took several PET scans of 419 participants’ brains to track the advancement of Tau proteins.
After roughly a year and a half, they noticed something astonishing.
These vicious proteins had developed in the women’s brains 75 percent faster.
One of the reasons this happens is, women have more neurons that act as bridges. These essentially give Tau proteins more pathways to spread faster.
They found that those who had a strong foundation of amyloid proteins were more likely to have higher levels of Tau proteins, and experienced symptoms ranging from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s.
The takeaway is clear. If you’re a woman, you need to do everything in your power to protect your brain.
Here’s how to get started.
Dr. Scott’s Keys to a Healthy Brain
- CBD. This extract of cannabis has been shown in recent studies to reduce the plaquing associated with Alzheimer’s.
- Eat a diet high in vegetables and good proteins. This means making sure you’re eating a vegetable at every meal and focusing on wild or free-range meats when you can.
- Avoid processed foods and foods with too much sugar and vegetable oils. These increase inflammation in the body, which is deadly to your brain. I like olive and avocado oils the most, but you can also use butter.
- Keep your blood sugar under control. Blood sugar and brain health are closely tied. If you need help controlling your blood sugar, look to supplements that contain chromium and berberine.
- Supplements. The best brain nutrients are: Alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10, curcumin, and astaxanthin. Each of these contain powerful antioxidants and anti-aging nutrients. B vitamins are also your brain’s best friends; I usually suggest a good B complex (all the B vitamins).
P.S. The mainstream will love to tell you that there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. But that’s because they want to throw you off the trail. There ARE solutions that work… and this “salt cure” is one of them! Read more right here.
