If you have a family member or friend with Alzheimer’s, you know how heartbreaking it is.
And it’s not just the memory loss.
They become feeble and disoriented… it’s like they’re wasting away in front of your eyes.
I don’t want that to happen to you.
There’s an easy way to stop yourself from becoming the next Alzheimer’s statistic.
And all you have to do is fix a problem you may have been ignoring for YEARS.
A new study from Europe looked at previous research on how everyday activities affect Alzheimer’s risk.
And what the researchers found surprised them.
It turns out that sleep quality tells you how likely you are to get Alzheimer’s.
Sleep disturbances (including insomnia) were associated with lower scores on tests of cognitive function, the study found.
If you don’t sleep well and are over 50, it is time to take your lack of sleep seriously. Your brain will thank you for the effort.
Dr. Scott’s Better-Sleep Program:
- Exercise is one of the best paths to a good night’s sleep. When your body is physically tired, your mind has no choice but to give in. Find an exercise you love and increase how much you are exercising when you feel stressed.
- Avoid caffeine in the afternoon. This means skipping coffee, tea, chocolate, and energy drinks.
- Sleeping alone is another option for people who are woken up by their mate. The National Sleep Foundation found nearly 25% of couples sleep in separate beds.
- Calming herbs such as hops, passionflower, lemon balm, chamomile, and valerian all help relax the body and mind.
- Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea that helps people feel calm.
- Melatonin is a hormone that promotes good sleep.
You can pick up these supplements at just about any online or local vitamin shop.
Health and Happiness,
