Alzheimers: is it reversable?


The human brain is a very amazing machine! Recent research has shown that your brain is very much a product of what you do. Researchers were amazed to discover that even people in their 80s and 90s can rewire their brains to work better if they will do certain exercises.

Many people assume that as you age your brain slows down and you become more forgetful.
That isn't necessarily so. Also many people assume that they are getting Alzheimers when they start to get a little forgetful. In most cases it isn't Alzheimers.

It goes back to that old saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it."

If your memory is starting to slip, practice memorizing things. If your thinker seems to be slowing down seek out more riddles, brain teasers and other such activities.

Of course, it is also important to get good nutrition. Here are some nutritional secrets for a better brain.

One of the main causes of Alzheimers is aluminum in the brain tissue. One of the major things that causes soft tissues of the body (including the brain) to absorb heavy metals (including aluminum) is fluoride. Most of us get way too much fluoride intake.

Avoid fluoridated water if possible. Use a non-fluoridated toothpaste. The latest information shows that extra fluoride is not good for your teeth.

The brain (along with every other cell of your body) needs healthy fats. Eat an avocado a day. Use coconut oil as much as possible for your cooking and baking needs. Use olive oil on salads.

The latest research shows that eating fats (if they are good fats) will not make you fat. In fact, you need to take in good fats in order to allow your body to break down the fat build-ups in your body that you are trying to get rid of.

The brain also needs protein (for the amino acids) and carbohydrates (for energy). The key, of course, is balance.

The secret to a balanced diet is variety and raw natural foods as much as possible.

So is Alzheimers reversable? Well, most people who think they have it don't, and the body has remarkable abilities to heal any part of itself if given the proper resources to work with.

I personally believe that, given the proper diet, exercises, rest and positive mental attitude, nearly any disease can be reversed. There are no quick fixes of course. It is a long term prospect to turn around a disease like Alzheimers that has been building up in one's body for a long time.

If you want to develop a better brain, you have to put in the effort to work at it and really pay attention.

I have recently discovered a wonderful program for turning a deteriorating brain into a growing and learning brain. It is a wonderful program called, "Seven Second Memory".
