RE: How Preventable is Dementia?

in StemSocial8 days ago

Casey Means is fantastic, I think. Very insightful (been listening to podcasts with both the Means brothers actually!). Personally, I'm skeptical about any 'authority' dismissing out of hand a potential cure/treatment for something we're so in the dark about still as is the case with dementia. To be honest, while I'm not expressly focusing on preventing dementia in my life right now, I am trying hard to eat well (since it seems to have serious links with neurodegenerative disease, as some studies are beginning to show) and reducing exposure to chemicals, toxins, microplastics, etc. Will it prevent it or lower my chances of getting it? I dunno, but I figure it can't hurt.

Sort:  

Nothing is certain in life, it's it, but I think eating well and limiting toxin exposure is only a good thing. These factors are linked to cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, mental health and basically all chronic health issues. It's also going to improve your quality of life while you're alive anyway, so what's to lose.

Since dropping all the processed foods and decreasing sugar overall I'm losing symptoms that I now realise we're insulin resistance. I've never been overweight, either, so I'm not someone you'd traditionally expect to be developing insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes. My mental health has also improved dramatically.
