Being part of a family where almost all my uncles and mother developed Alzheimer dementia it scares me to see what awaits me. Been trying to do research and find everything I can in regards to nutritional and alternative methods to treat and prevent this condition. There appears to not be one single agent that can really cause a change enough to prevent Alzheimer.
One of the major problems with Alzheimers is that like many chronic diseases there Alzheimer is not caused by one single factor but multiple factors. Some of which are:
1) Heavy metal poisoning especially aluminum. Large quantities have been found in the brain of these patients.
2) Microvascular changes that reduces circulation to the brain
3) The development of abnormal proteins in the brain that cause havoc to brain cells
4)The brains has lost the capacity to use glucose (it's main source of energy) as a source of energy.
This last factor seems to be a major problem. As you may or may not know, the brain affected by Alzheimer tends to atrophy (shrink) until it doesn't work at all.
But the brain is actually able to use a certain type of fats as it's source of energy thru the production of a fat metabolite called ketones.
For this to happen you have to consume a certain type of fat called MCT. Which stands for Medium train Triglycerides.
Well to make this post simple....one food source that contains this fat is Coconut Oil. Yes!
With this special fat found in coconut oil, many experts are finding that they can even reverse or at least halt Alzheimer in its tracks!
This is finally great news for those of us who are afraid of this disease.
