   Alzheimer's Solution Begins In Your Stomach    
      
      
   Date: 22 September, 2015    
   Alzheimer's disease plagues more than 850,000 people, in the UK alone. And,   
   according to the results of the latest study, 1-in-3 new-borns will suffer   
   with dementia later in life...    
      
   Researchers believe this increased risk is all down to the fact that Britain   
   has an ageing population and that Big Pharma is yet to come up with a drug to   
   treat dementia.    
      
   Forget me not    
      
   The researchers at Alzheimer's Research UK call it a 'looming national health   
   crisis' and warn that girls born today are at a 10 per cent higher risk of   
   developing dementia later in life, compared to boys of a similar age whose   
   risk is 27 per cent.    
      
   Dr. Matthew Norton, head of policy at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Dementia   
   is our greatest medical challenge and, if we are to beat it, we must invest in   
   research to find new treatments and preventions."    
      
   You and I both know that these "treatments and preventions" will certainly not   
   involve alternative healthy breakthroughs, developing policies to clampdown on   
   junk food manufacturers, curtailing the use of pesticides and the   
   over-prescription of    
   antibiotics.    
      
   That's the sad thing about the mainstream. Researchers are sweating away in   
   laboratories trying to develop new drugs that will supposedly treat and   
   prevent Alzheimer's (note: they've not come up with anything yet), while the   
   clues for the increase in the    
   number of dementia sufferers are right under their noses... and they are being   
   ignored!    
      
   Things like:    
      
   The Modern Diet: Laden with sugar, artificial sweeteners, preservatives and   
   hydrogenated fats, the Modern Diet has a massive impact on our digestive   
   health. In fact, research suggests a powerful connection between your diet and   
   your risk of developing    
   Alzheimer's disease, which develops via similar pathways that cause type 2   
   diabetes. In fact, Alzheimer's disease has been dubbed "Type 3 Diabetes" by   
   experts at the forefront of diabetes and dementia research.    
   The over-prescription of antibiotics: Antibiotics are known to destroy healthy   
   gut bacteria, which has a knock-on effect on your gut health and body's   
   defences.    
   Pesticides linked to brain dysfunction: Mounting evidence is showing a steep   
   increase in the prevalence of dementia correlating with an increase of   
   pesticide use. One of the most commonly used insecticides, Bacillus   
   thuringiensis (BT), has been linked to    
   autism, behavioural problems, Crohn's disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and   
   gastrointestinal disorders.    
   The link between pollution and the increased risk of Alzheimer's: A recent   
   study of more than 900 adults found that those living near major roads   
   suffered cerebral shrinkage and had an increased dementia risk. Recent   
   research also suggested that inhaling    
   fine particles, or soot, may disrupt the immune system and trigger   
   inflammation in the gut by altering the delicate bacterial balance inside your   
   stomach.    
   Looking at the evidence, the root of the problem clearly lies in our stomachs.    
      
   In fact, researchers have found that the bacterial environment in the gut has   
   a direct impact on brain activity and that the composition of your gut   
   bacteria at birth and in early childhood shapes your brain development --   
   meaning a mother's diet during    
   pregnancy has a direct impact on a child's gut and brain health.    
      
   This suggests that gut bacteria play a role in childhood brain developmental   
   disorders. Adding to that, a study at the University of California showed that   
   the daily consumption of probiotics improved brain function while in a resting   
   state as well as    
   during an emotion-recognition task.    
      
   It makes sense that our children are at an increased risk of losing their   
   precious memories and mental function. And Modern Life -- a problem we helped   
   create -- is the driving force behind it.    
      
   But it can be fixed... without drugs (and more money being pumped into   
   research that is leading us nowhere). Here are some simple lifestyle changes   
   you can make, starting today, to help protect your brain:    
      
   Avoid sugar and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS): Ideally, you'll want to keep   
   your total sugar and fructose below 25 grams per day, or as low as 15 grams   
   per day if you have insulin resistance or any related disorders. In one recent   
   animal study, a junk    
   food diet high in sugar resulted in impaired memory after just one week! Place   
   recognition (As in "Where the hell am I?"), was specifically adversely   
   affected.    
   Avoid gluten and casein (primarily wheat and pasteurized dairy, but not dairy   
   fat, like butter): Research shows that your blood-brain barrier, the barrier   
   that keeps things out of your brain where they don't belong, is negatively   
   affected by gluten.    
   Gluten also makes your gut more permeable, which allows proteins to get into   
   your bloodstream, where they don't belong. That then sensitizes your immune   
   system and promotes inflammation and autoimmunity, both of which play a role   
   in the development of    
   Alzheimer's.    
   Increase consumption of all healthy fats, including animal-based omega-3:   
   Beneficial health-promoting fats that your brain needs for optimal function   
   include organic butter from raw milk (saturated fat), olives, organic virgin   
   olive oil and coconut oil,    
   nuts like pecans and macadamia, free-range eggs, salmon and avocado.    
   Optimize your gut flora by regularly eating fermented foods or taking a   
   high-potency and high-quality probiotic supplement.    
   Eat blueberries: Wild blueberries, which have a high anthocyanin and   
   antioxidant content, are known to guard against Alzheimer's and other   
   neurological diseases.    
   Supplement with B vitamins -- folic acid, B6 and B12 -- that are known to   
   improve mental abilities in those who already show signs of memory problems   
   and cognitive decline.    
   Follow a Mediterranean diet that has been shown to help those already   
   suffering with Alzheimer's. Numerous studies have shown it not only decreases   
   the risk of full-blown Alzheimer's disease for people who are already showing   
   early signs, but even for    
   those who are healthy! Traditionally the Mediterranean diet includes lots of   
   fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and small amounts of meat and milk, not too   
   many sweets, and healthy fats -- mostly the kind found in olive oil and fish.
