The prospect of contracting Alzheimer’s disease is very disturbing indeed.  Sadly, the brain-degenerating disease has impacted a enormous number of North American and worldwide families.  For example, over 5 million Americans suffer with Alzheimer’s disease.  The numbers will accelerate as the baby boomers reach the impacted age group.

There is no known cure for Alzheimer’s.  However, studies indicate that regular brain-inducing activities such as reducing stress and getting regular exercise may reduce the risk.

       According to the Alzheimer's Prevention Foundation International (APFI), the food you consume is critically essential to prevention.  In particular, healthy diet and vitamins perform fundamental functions in improving mental and physical health.

     Doctors have concluded that specific food substances protect the memory functions of the brain and critical motor functions.   Studies have indicated that particular foods will elevate brain functions.
     Too much cholesterol in the blood leads to health problems. In the 1970’s, scientists established links between high blood cholesterol levels and heart disease. Deposits of cholesterol congest the arteries. These deposits, known as plaque, narrow an artery enough to reduce or block blood flow. This narrowing process, called atherosclerosis commonly occurs in the coronary arteries which feed the heart.
       When one or more portions of heart muscle do not receive sufficient blood and the required oxygen and nutrients, the result may be the chest pain known as angina. In addition, plaque can rupture, resulting in blood clots which may lead to heart attack, stroke, or death. 
      Fortunately, the buildup of cholesterol can be reduced, eliminated and possibly even reversed through natural substances, without the side effects of drugs.
      Certainly, the major pharmaceutical companies have spend billions of dollars in this Alzheimer’s and heart research.  For instance, there are many well-known drugs that assist in the process of cholesterol reduction.  However, the significant side effects are very well known already.    Loss of libido, constipation, etc.  The long-term impacts of these serious drugs are indeterminate.
      Common sense and science indicates that natural substances will derive the optimum human healing results.  Instead of ingesting chemicals from the major pharmaceutical corporations, natural foods and substances appear to be equally effective.   Definitely, the pharmaceutical companies have rewarded their shareholders from the sale of these drugs.  However, what of the average human?
        Low-density lipoproteins (“LDL”) carry cholesterol from the liver to the body. When there is too much LDL cholesterol in the blood, it may be deposited on the walls of the coronary arteries. As a result, LDL cholesterol is referred to as "bad" cholesterol.
        High-density lipoproteins (“HDL”) carry cholesterol from the blood back to the liver, which processes the cholesterol for elimination from the body. HDL makes it less likely that excess cholesterol in the blood will be deposited in the coronary arteries.  Hence, HDL cholesterol is referred to as "good" cholesterol.
       In general, the higher your LDL and the lower your HDL, the greater your risk for atherosclerosis and heart disease.
          Medical studies have indicated strong health benefits involving the following:

1.  Brain super-foods such as seaweed, spinach and blueberries;
2.  20% HDL from sources such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado, flax seed oil
3.  40% lean protein such as soy, fish, turkey and chicken
4.  40% complex carbohydrates, such as a complex of fresh vegetables, whole grains, legumes and fresh fruits

        The health studies have shown that LDL cholesterol from animal products, red meat in particular, should be carefully monitored and avoided.  On the other hand,  HDL mono-unsaturated fats (such as those found in extra virgin olive oil) should be consumed.

       Together with ingested foods, multiple vitamins which include folic acid and vitamin C offer other beneficial nutrients such as:
"Memory nutrients such as  coenzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid, ginseng, ginkgo biloba and phosphatidylserine, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), huperzine-A, vinpocetine, and acetyl-L-carnitine."

       Obviously, it is impossible to avoid aging, however, it is recommended that you improve your eating habits to optimize your life enjoyment and longevity.

        Hopefully, if  luck is on your side, and you eat the appropriate natural healthy foods, you will surpass the health of your grandparents.  If you have grandparents that lived or live in their 80’s or 90’s independently, then with your dietary improvement, you will surpass those levels.
