Flashback Friday: Preventing Alzheimer's with Lifestyle Changes and Diet

Показать описание
Lifestyle changes could potentially prevent hundreds of thousands of cases of Alzheimer’s disease every year in the United States. And the role of the Mediterranean diet in preventing and treating dementia.

My mom’s mom died of Alzheimer’s. It is worth preventing at all costs.
Up to half of Alzheimer’s cases may be attributable to just those 7 risk factors, and that’s not even including diet, because there were so many dietary factors that they couldn’t fit them into their model.

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!
-Michael Greger, MD FACLM

Isn’t’ recognizing your loved ones worth giving up your meat and dairy? I would think so.

I wish I could get my Mom to stop taling pills and start eating WFPB. Thanks for your info.

Basically: be a low fat
Whole organic foods based vegan; exercise, use your brain daily, and spend time with your family/ friends/ outdoors, and get 7 hrs sleep each night ☺️

Common sense, but not accepted as common sense by the majority. So uncommon sense?

Keeping saturated fat low doesn't just protect against Alzheimer's, but it does appear to reduce death from all-cause mortality.

Something not discussed here was fasting. I would love to see Dr. Grieger weigh in on and apply his scientific approach to the medical benefits of fasting, including for diseases like Alzheimer's.

I'm talking about real fasting, not intermittent fasting. I mean 48 hour fasts and beyond.

Does anyone know their apo-e status? I’m terrified to learn mine. My mom had late onset AD.

I’d say that those who adhere to a total plant based diet would be even better.

What exactly do they mean by "Mediterranean diet"? Because I live in Spain and people don't particularly eat healthy. They just have normal diets with meats, jamón, eggs, beer, they smoke... It's not what one might think...

Adherence to the diet slowed death....but Alzheimers is a living death. Does this mean their bodies survived longer despite the fact their minds were gone or does this mean their minds lasted longer?

My dad and grandma had healthy bodies. They suffered a long, long time witg this disease. I don't want that for me.

You forgot to mention the study that 7 cups of coffee a day reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s by 85% ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

If I unserstood this properly, the people who had AD and followed the diet strictly lived longer; however, I'm not sure I would want to burder my family with living longer with the disease. Maybe I misunderstood what he was saying at the end.

My dark chocolate is high in saturated fat. Should I give it up?

Isn't the Mediterranian diet high in fat?

They might live longer by a few years but it just prolongs everyone’s suffering. When it comes to dementia, I think it’s much better to live a short life but a merry one.
