November is National Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Awareness Month! Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disease that slowly robs a person of memory, thinking and language abilities, movement, perception, reasoning and judgment.
Alzheimer’s disease is different from normal aging
In the United States, AD affects 11% of those aged 65 and older and 32% of those aged 85 and older. So, while AD is associated with increasing age (80% of AD patients are age 75 or older), it is not the same as normal aging!
In the normal aging process, you may occasionally forget or lose things, or have trouble “finding” a particular word, but soon enough, you’ll remember it. With AD, you can forget what day it is or where you are when you’re somewhere you should be familiar with. You may have difficulty following familiar routines, recipes, or instructions. In short, a normal older person may be forgetful at times, but later remember things and function well. People with AD have memory and thinking problems that worsen and disrupt daily life.
What causes Alzheimer’s disease?
AD is not caused by aging of the brain, but by the accumulation of abnormal proteins called amyloid-beta (sometimes called brain plaque) and tau. In AD, the brain’s clearance of these proteins is reduced. These proteins cause inflammation in the brain. Cell connections are lost and the brain shrinks. Some genes are associated with an increased risk of developing the disease; the more copies of the gene you have, the higher your risk. But genetics doesn’t explain 100% of the risk. There are steps we can take to reduce the risk.
Now the good news. There are drugs that can slow the progression of the disease (by reducing plaque), and there are other drugs that can help control symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (such as memory or behavioral problems), but in general, currently approved drugs work better in the early stages of the disease. Additionally, plaque-reducing drugs can have some rare but serious side effects, so a neurology specialist interested in Alzheimer’s disease may be best to help screen the options.
Healthy habits help reduce risk
The better news: Consistently doing all the things we know we should do can help reduce the risk of AD progression. Getting enough restorative sleep (even your sleeping position can play a role!), getting regular physical activity, eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, staying well hydrated, not smoking, and keeping your blood pressure and blood sugar within normal ranges can all help reduce your risk. Even certain supplements have been shown to help, including omega 3 fatty acids (which you can get from fatty fish or from carefully selected supplements), vitamins B, C and D. Polyphenols in common foods such as citrus fruits (hesperidin), green tea (catechins), apples and onions (quercetin), grapes (resveratrol), and extra virgin olive oil may also have a positive impact on your risk.
Take control of your future and increase your chances of aging healthily with good brain function, energy and grace. Integrative doctors have advanced testing techniques that can provide a baseline for your current condition and develop a reliable treatment plan based on your future needs.
