4 Ways to a Better Brain

26 million people have Alzheimer's Disease.

That's expected to Quadruple by the year 2050.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins give us "projections
of a global dementia epidemic".

"If we can make even modest advances in preventing
Alzheimer's Disease, or delay its progression, we could
have a huge global public health impact," says Johns
Hopkins Public Health Specialist Ron Brookmeyer.

They've found some genetic markers that seem to
predict Alzheimer's accurately 85% of the time.

What do those genes relate to?

- immune system
- inflammation
- cell division

Hmmm. Not brain function, necessarily. Not blood
flow to the brain, necessarily. But immune system,
inflammation, and cell signaling.

They've also found that Alzheimer's and Heart Disease
share common risk factors: high blood pressure,
diabetes, high cholesterol, hardening of the arteries,
and smoking.

Hmmm. Looks like poor insulin control (diabetes) and
inflammation (heart disease, genetic markers) have a
lot to do with Alzheimer's.

Just confirming what we already knew about these
'diseases of Modern Civilization'. Heart disease,
Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, diabetes, arthritis,
cancer...they aren't diseases you catch; they're
disease processes brought on by chronic inflammation
and poor insulin control.

Mostly due to our Modern, agricultural diet.

Most people talk about 'battling' these diseases. At
least these researchers are trying to prevent them,
or at least slow their progression.

Trouble is, a drug-based approach is probably going
to fail or cause more problems (note current troubles
at the FDA, lawsuits, laundry list of side-effects
and precautions in all the drug ads on TV)

Here are four ways that may keep your Alzheimer's risk
from quadrupling, without all the side-effects:

P.S. Any one of the Core Four can make a big change
in your health. Not because they're magic, but
because our modern diet leaves us seriously deprived
of essential nutrients.

But put 'em all together, and you hit all the
targets: reduce inflammation, control insulin, and
maximize the 'good' gene expression.

If you have any interest at all in good health and
longer, more productive life, you need these
