Breaking the Chain of Alzheimer's: Innovative Approaches to Prevention and Severity Reduction By Ryan

What is Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's disease is a disorder that impacts the brain, leading to difficulties in recalling memories and clear thinking for those affected. This condition arises due to problems within brain cells, as well as factors related to genetics and other influences. Additional information about the causes of Alzheimer's can be found in scientific sources such as this study and the National Institute on Aging. Interestingly, Alzheimer's has even been referred to as type 3 diabetes, a connection that holds significance for the later discussions in this paper.
Risk Factors
Alzheimer's disease remains a complex condition that scientists are still working to fully comprehend. Multiple risk factors have been identified, including age, exposure to aluminum, and dietary factors, among others. These risk factors contribute to our understanding of the disease's complexity, highlighting the need for continued research and exploration of the many factors that may influence its development. 1
Prevention of Alzheimer's
The prevention of Alzheimer's is very complex and isn't 100% treatable. These are just some subtle but life changing factors that may be able to prevent Alzheimer's. A study done on mice found that fasting improved the memory of the mice. Another study found that fasting can prevent the development and severity of dementia. A final study found that fasting can prevent Alzheimer's.
One last thing I've found which can help prevent the development of Alzheimer's is diet. I've found 3 studies, 2, 3, discussing the topic of which a ketogenic diet can help reduce the extremity of the Alzheimer's diease.
Conclusion
Although complete treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease remains challenging, there are certain actions that can be taken to potentially lower the risk of developing the condition.
