If you have a parent or close family member who has suffered from this illness NOW is the time to take action. Epigenetics can play a part. What do I mean? Well stop living in fear and realise that although you may have the gene, you CAN take control by providing the environment for your body to reduce the risk of this gene being switched on. There is something you can do to help yourself! 1) Alzheimers is quickly becoming known in nutrition circles as Type 3 Diabetes so balancing blood sugars can have a protective effect. 2) Levels of homocysteine in the body have been shown by Oxford University to have an effect on dementia. Certain B vitamins can address high homocysteine levels. 3) Oxidation and inflammation can create cytokines in the body which can cross the blood brain barrier and have a negative effect on brain function. Nutrition and certain supplements can strengthen the blood brain barrier and also detect and target potential root of inflammation and oxidation in the body.
