“Aerobic exercise increases blood flow and promotes structural changes in the brain, supporting cognitive health. A recent study found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) enhances how much glucose the brain uses, particularly in regions that tend to decline early in Alzheimer's disease.”

“One of the reasons I find this study so compelling even though it is associative data and does not establish causality is because the sauna activates heat shock proteins, which have been shown in countless animal studies to play a causal role in preventing Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.”

“In addition, more serious dysfunction in brain glucose utilization was associated with the manifestation of disease symptoms like memory issues during life. This study also found that glucose transporters in neurons were also low in Alzheimer's patients which could explain why glucose is not being used well in neurons.”

“The risk reduction associated with light to moderate drinking may be as high as 26%–28% for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. A more modest 10% reduction in the risk of dementia may occur at four drinks per week.”

“Some evidence suggests that the ketogenic diet is beneficial in preventing or treating neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and dementia. A recent study in older mice found that a ketogenic diet improves memory functions and increases lifespan.”

“Researchers collected information from more than 600 older adults regarding their age, sex, education, use of beta-blockers (drugs that lower heart rate), and APOE4 gene status (a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's).”

“In Alzheimer's disease, amyloid beta levels are estimated to be ~43% higher in affected individuals relative to healthy age-matched adults. Sleep activates one of the main systems that clean out amyloid beta plaques, called the glymphatic system.”

“00:10:00 - His newest study that now shows a reduction in risk in a similar dose-response fashion for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease by around 65% for the most frequent sauna users.”

“Coffee is a powerful ally in preserving brain health and function. It's not just a powerful stimulant. Regular coffee consumption significantly lowers the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's—by about 34–37%.”
