“Energy” BREAKTHROUGH Shields Your Brain
We know that Alzheimer’s patients have a buildup of materials called amyloid beta plaque and tau in their brains.
And we know this gunk disrupts communication between brain cells leading to symptoms like memory loss.
What we DON’T know is how to do anything significant about it.
Countless research dollars have been poured into reversing this process, most of which has been a BIG FAT FAILURE.
Clearly, we’ve been missing a BIG piece of the Alzheimer’s puzzle.
But now, one group of researchers thinks they might have found it.
And this could be the break we’ve been waiting for in treating and preventing Alzheimer’s…
Your brain requires more energy to run than ANY other system in your body.
And most of that energy is produced by vital cells called mitochondria. These tiny factories transform food into energy (adenosine triphosphate, or ATP) that fuels your body.
Multi-tasking mitochondria also send signals to other cells and help protect cells from damage.
They’re essential for your entire body but are especially critical for your brain.
Each neuron contains thousands of mitochondria to help power it up for its high energy needs.
And those mitochondria get constantly renewed to stay healthy, so your neurons can carry out their essential tasks.
Healthy mitochondria = healthy neurons.
But if mitochondria become damaged, your neurons will experience an energy shortage that prevents them from functioning properly.
This includes preventing them from repairing damage to brain cells.
When brain cells are NOT repaired, damage accumulates, and some neurons die off. And this paves the way for dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Studies confirm that people with Alzheimer’s have a loss of mitochondria in their neurons.
This is the science behind the new theory of mitochondrial dysfunction being the TRUE root cause of Alzheimer’s.
The scientific community is brainstorming ways to transfer healthy mitochondria into cells. That means studies that test replacing damaged neurons in people with dementia aren’t too far off.
In the meantime, here are seven simple steps you can take to boost your mitochondrial function—and help protect your brain in the process:
- Eat less.
- Practice intermittent fasting.
- Stop eating refined carbs (soda, white bread).
- Eat more quality protein (grass-fed beef and eggs).
- Consume more omega-3s.
- Move more throughout the day.
- Get more quality sleep.
We may FINALLY be seeing a light at the end of the Alzheimer’s tunnel. So go ahead and juice up your internal energy factories and feed your brain while we wait for more research.
