The Secret to NEVER Getting Alzheimer’s

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had patients ask the same question – or some version of it.
“Sure I’ll take better care of myself, doc… or even buy those supplements your recommend. But how much does it really matter?”
That’s because modern science is brainwashing us into thinking that our health is all determined by our genes… and other factors we don’t control.
Have a bad set of genes, and you’re destined to poor health — and even chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s, right?
Well, not so fast.
Because new research proves you have a lot more control over your health than you may imagine – especially where your brain is concerned.
And taking as few simple steps could keep you PERMANENTLY safe from dementia or Alzheimer’s.
A recent study presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference discovered that managing lifestyle factors such as hearing loss, smoking, high blood pressure and depression could prevent one-third of the world’s dementia cases.
Just think about that for a second.
In the United States, over 5 million people have Alzheimer’s – and with the aging baby boomers, that number is predicted to reach 15 million.
That’s 15 million people losing their brains… having someone dress them… losing control of their bladders and bowels… and forgetting the people they love.
To me, putting an end to the Alzheimer’s epidemic is the number one health issue of our time.
Knocking down the number of Alzheimer’s cases by one-third could be life-changing for you and the people you care about.
And here’s the REALLY good news. Dropping your risk of Alzheimer’s by a third is impressive, but you can do much better than that if you follow a few simple steps.
Dr. Scott’s Plan to Stop Your Brain from Falling Apart:
- Follow the advice from the study: take care of your heart and control your blood sugar.
- Get out and exercise every once and a while. Don’t try and by an Olympian, just get out and move your body a bit.
- Keep inflammation under control. Try berberine and curcumin to keep inflammation in check and stay away from the oils that increase inflammation like corn, soy, and other vegetable oils.
- Fish oil is a powerful brain supplement. Not only does fish oil help support your brain with healthy fats, but also helps keep inflammation low. Take fish oil every day!
Being an active participant in your health is the only way to keep your brain from turning into mush as you age.
Make small changes to your lifestyle and your future-brain will thank you.
Health and Happiness,
Dr. Scott Olson, ND
