Helping Minimize Alzheimer's Disease

[Guest guest]

Helping Minimize Alzheimer's DiseaseIf you or a loved one has Alzheimer's - or is at an increased risk for Alzheimer's - consider the following:

 

Take a daily low-dose aspirin. Some studies link the use of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease. Supplement with vitamins C and E. Results of a recent study at Johns Hopkins University suggested that vitamins C and E taken together might slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Use a daily multivitamin that provides adequate levels of folic acid and other B vitamins. They help the body get rid of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid formed by the breakdown of animal protein that has been linked to heart attack and stroke, and more recently with increased risks of Alzheimer's. Make sure you talk with your physician before taking any medications, including over the counter drugs. And, to learn more about mental health - including Alzheimer's disease and memory loss - join Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging.
