Defeating Dementia:What You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer’s and Other Forms of Dementia

Dementia. It’s one of the most dreaded conditions we face as we age. Many people claim they would rather be diagnosed with cancer than Alzheimer’s. What many don’t realize is that dementia is not a forgone conclusion as we get older. Our own lifestyle choices and habits can have a significant impact–for good or ill–on our chances of developing the disease.

And that means there’s hope.

He explains how eating the right foods, exercising, and sustaining an ideal weight can dramatically reduce the likelihood of developing dementia in the first place, and how these habits can even slow the progression of the disease in someone who has already received a diagnosis.

Your Cholesterol Matters

85 percent of people over the age of 50 have significant artery blockage without any symptoms.

Two-thirds of the time, the initial symptom is a full blown heart attack

Doctors routinely tell patients to watch their diet, get regular exercise, and lose weight. They also increasingly prescribe “cholesterol lowering” drugs that patients will take everyday for the rest of their lives. The pill makes us feel like we’re doing something, so we slack off in our goals for a healthier lifestyle. To make matters worse, the pill solves only a portion of the problem, giving us a false sense of security.

  • raise your levels of “hero” HDL cholesterol
  • develop new habits that make healthy living easy and natural
  • adjust your lifestyle in order to stay off of expensive medication

Your aging process depends on the health of your arteries. Dr. Furman’s advice will not only give you extra years but, even more important, it will improve the quality of those years, beginning today.
