Eliminate the Deadliest Sign of Alzheimer’s?! (Here’s how)
Why this daily job is so critical
There’s a lot we still don’t know about Alzheimer’s disease.
But one thing we DO know is that the brains of people with the disease all have one thing in common: a buildup of toxic proteins called beta-amyloid plaque.
This plaque gunks up your brain, disrupting the connections necessary for everything from using your fork to making rational decisions to remembering your family members.
The good news is that researchers have just identified something you can do on a daily basis to prevent the buildup of these brain-robbing plaques in your brain.
There’s no end to the impact your circadian rhythm has on your health. Now, it’s time to add yet another critical benefit to the list:
It could help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Your body has immune cells that are responsible for clearing out beta-amyloid plaque from your brain.
In an exciting new study, researchers found that these immune cells cleared away beta-amyloid plaque on an oscillating cycle that followed the body’s circadian rhythm.
But get this… when the cells’ circadian rhythm was disrupted, the daily cycle of plaque clearance disappeared.
In other words… disruptions in your circadian rhythm prevent your body from clearing beta-amyloid plaque from your brain.
This type of daily clearance—like taking out the trash—is necessary for preventing an overload that your body might not be able to recover from.
This study helps explain why Alzheimer’s and poor sleep always go hand in hand, with sleep problems tending to show up years before symptoms begin.
Does this mean that managing your circadian rhythm will prevent you from getting Alzheimer’s?
Not necessarily.
But it certainly is a good place to start.
