To the common lay-person: the 'How to slow...' actually starts at around 13:49. Good luck wrapping your brain around everything before.

[@JohnSmith-cg3cv]

I mean, I'm only almost two minutes in but, in combination with hearing Attia talk about these topics before, this information is sort of starting to click for me. Things I've learned: 1. Dementia is a more general term than Alzheimer's Disease.... Alzheimer's Disease falls into the category of dementia. 2. There are different kinds of Alzheimer's Disease, often with different causes. For example, there is Lewy Body dementia, which after a quick Google search I found out is caused by "Lewy Bodies," which are certain proteins deposits in nerve cells. Further, according to UCSFhealth, "Unlike Alzheimer's disease, which tends to progress gradually, this disease often starts rapidly, with a fast decline in the first few months." etc. Point is: You can get pretty far with Google searches, learning from credible sources, and some patience if you really want to understand these topics.

Four unequivocally beneficial things for brain health: have good and adequate sleep, lower LDL cholesterol, avoiding type 2 diabetes, and exercise.

[@keithb4077]

Put a star by #4; it helps with all of the other three. If we were listing habits instead of just quantifiables, it would be healthy diet, healthy sleep, healthy activity. The more things change, the more the they stay the same. Some foundations in life can't be hacked or innovated, you just need to apply discipline to the knowledge you already have.

I did a lot of reading and writing and it has kept my cognitive level very high through my whole life. I was a little sharper at age 30, but I never stopped reading and now I know more than I knew then. I have a wider base of knowledge. I can't wrestle anymore, but I could probably write a history book. I didn't have the patience to write a book when I was 25. If I didn't read and write I would have had cognitive issues from psychological and physical trauma. I had 3 concussions and I felt a decline happening at an early age. I knew the reading and writing was having very definite effect on my cognition. I had a foggy feeling and then it snapped back into shape from continual reading and making an attempt at writing something. Read paper not off a computer screen. Take 3 hours out of your day and read and then go to your computer and write something about what you read for a few minutes. Your brain will sharpen up even if you got banged up. New neurological pathways are formed from crossword puzzles, reading, writing. I'm not sure you have to read Aristotle, it can be a magazine or a novel. Sit and write something like I am right now. It is amazing what the human body can do to heal itself. You need to put something into action to get the best results. The more effort you put into your diet and exercise the more blood there is running around the body nourishing everything. Coupled with reading and writing, is diet and exercise. A good lifestyle is powerful medicine for healing.

[@TeaParty1776]

Doctors or nurses these days ask about lifestyle. Socrates said that curing the soul cures the body. I, personally, like to get stoned and think good thoughts.

Good advice, I disagree about the screen reading though. I read and write software 8-10 hours a day. Paper reading maybe a half to an hour an evening and only recreational reading. No tech manuals or News. I had a calculator brain at 23, at 66 I use wisdom to write better software.

Great conversation - I've been living with MS for 18 years and adhered to Dr. Attia's brain health truths long before my diagnosis. I credit my diet and lifestyle with living with no physical disability for 16 years between my first relapse and diagnosis/treatment.

Great but if living healthy why did you develop autoimmune disease MS? Please can you tell me the cause as I understand it is leaky gut the cause . I am asking as I have young daughter with sever MS . Thank you. I understood you followed dr Attis advice before your diagnosis in remission 16 years Thank you , God blessings

[@stonz42]

@@samieramohamed2467 There is no known cause of MS. It is simply a case of being unlucky enough to develop it. Currently there are multiple factors thought to cause MS including, most importantly at the moment, exposure to Epstein Barr virus. Other factors includes genetics and geographic location which is thought to relate to decreased sunlight exposure at latitudes further from the equator. I encourage you to search for the KZbin channels of Dr Aaron Boster and Dr Brandon Beaber. They have been a big help for me. I also encourage you to see a neurologist that will treat your daughter aggressively right away. Best of luck.

what's your diet/lifestyle like?

[@stonz42]

@@blb I’ve always been constantly active since childhood when I played a lot sports and lived on my bicycle. My first MS attack was at age 19 during my peak physical health. I had been running 5 and 10Ks for a year at that point. I was also strength training a few days a week. After the first attack I had a lot of recurring fatigue and couldn’t maintain that level of conditioning. Today I mostly do 30 min stints of low to moderate exercise like walking or jogging because I can’t build much endurance. I enjoy yard work and working with my hands as well. I prefer physical labor as a means of exercise over formal training these days at nearly 40 years old. I’ve eaten a Mediterranean style diet low in sat fat and dairy since my late teens. I avoid processed foods and anything containing omega 6 oils as well. Part of my health is also luck because MS is a highly unpredictable disease but I know I would have fared much worse if I hadn’t taken care of my body during that time.

[@JonathanWrightSA]

​@@stonz42I have had MS for five years now. Diagnosed after ER admission in 2018 following my first 'attack'. 23 years old. I was moderately fit, at least in terms of resistance training. It was an intense year stress wise, but that was an exception as far as my life had gone. Lived in South African Cape my whole life. In the summer months, I was in the sun most of the time. Generally quite outdoors. Being South African, heavy diet emphasis on red meat, chicken, some fish, and fresh fruit and veg. Basically, I was far from what I thought would be 'MS prone'. Started treatment after 6 months (I was relapsing once a month). Rebif clinically successful, but side effects sucked. Aubagio just failed (fortunately no relapses, but annual MRI showed continued progression). Now on Gilenya with great success. Crossfit twice a week, physically stronger than ever, running further every time, and living my best life.

One important risk factor was not mentioned and that is women who are post menopausal are at a much higher risk for developing dementia compared to men later their lives. Without estrogen LDL cholesterol increases, vessels harden, brain atrophies (more than is usual as a person ages) - which makes post menopausal women at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease compared to men during later life.

In the early 1900’s there was a spate of younger (50?) people getting a neurogenerative disease, it was the basis for the movie “awakenings”. It would be interesting to study it since it sounds like it could have been an environmental factor that caused it opposed to genetic. I think it was at first called sleeping syndrome then later put into the Parkinson’s category. I recently listened to a great podcast all about Dr. Oliver Sack.

After listening to this podcast Dr. Attia stresses the importance of getting plenty of good quality sleep. I just bought Petter Attia's book; Outlive. I have insomnia and met with a psychiatrist that specializes in sleep issues. I was averaging about 4 hrs of sleep a night due to my struggles with falling asleep. He put me on Ambien and then Lunesta which worked great! I also enrolled in an online 8 week CBTi course with a goal of falling asleep quicker and tapering off the medication, achieving both. However, I still only average about 5 hrs of sleep per night and I know this is not enough. I am a 64 year old, fairly active women. I know that lack of sleep over the years can also lead to cognitive impairment/decline, dementia, Alzheimer's (my father had Alzheimer's). My question is; which is the lesser of two evils......staying on the medication to ensure I get more sleep or not being on medication and living with 4-6 hrs of sleep per night?

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

You shouldn't have to choose, but your online course isn't the same as working with a trained therapist. CBT-i works best with a human not a bot. We hav people on meds while they build skills. That is the best possible combo for you.

If you say "any of them are..." you are telling your audience, that's us out here, that you've lost track of your subject, that, ahem, you don't know what you're talking about. Yer Granny luvs ya!

Sadly my mom and maternal G.father both passed from issues resulting from P.D. Her Neurologist claimed not so much genetic but that family members are often exposed to same environmental toxins. May have said that so I do not worry for family members? Doubt it. I do know these two members afflicted really enjoyed meats, esp red, and sweets.
