I have always felt that oxygen supply to the brain is key. We brought it on ourselves when we started walking upright. I reckon the high you get from exercise is little to do with endorphins etc but due to the faster heart beat managing to pump more blood to the brain, making this feel good.

My father lived over half of his life as a type 2 diabetic, his doctors were all too happy to administer drugs and tell him to diet but staying alive was all they helped him accomplish. When my mom passed my sister took over cooking for him and she found some low carb Broccoli and Cauliflower salad recipes that kept my father happy without pasta, rice and garlic bread at every meal. After 42 years of being chemically treated for type 2 his doctors tests showed that he no longer had diabetes.

Excellent news! I'll try that, too! I'm currently weening my husband off carbs, but I swear the darn metformin makes him crave sugar and carbs and he thinks he's hungry all the time! He gets enough food to keep his pre stroke weight, when he was very healthy and well muscled. I have to tell him everyday, metformin will make you obese if you don't watch it. I have to tell him, LOOK at your plate! It's full, a normal sized plate. He's half paralyzed from the stroke and can't afford to go over 200 lbs and be able to walk with his cane. I got the doc to cut his metformin in half, and corrected (nagged him about) his diet, and his numbers are great every visit.

My father started having a mental status change at 82 over a month. It came to the point the he started having sudden screaming fits. We and he was staring a lot. We took him to the ER and they admitted him into to the hospital. The hospital staff would sometimes look at him like he was crazy. But we knew he wasn’t. He is super sharp and still goes to work and work on things every day. Until this started. Why, some of the nursing staff was puzzled because in the afternoons, he would seem to be totally with it. The hospitalist walked in the room without talking to us or my family apparently just reading notes in the chart and told us that this was dementia. We said dementia doesn’t come on so quickly like this, but he insisted it was dementia, and said, sometimes this happens, patted me on the back and left the room. He would not change his mind about the diagnosis we refused to accept this. We had neurology get involved, and the neurologist had a spinal tap done. Most of it was all normal, but there was one area of suspicion. The neurologist had a hunch that maybe he had auto immune encephalitis. They treated him with IG therapy and he was completely normal and has been ever since. If we weren’t there to advocate for my father, he would’ve been diagnosed with dementia, and probably would’ve died. I wonder how many people who don’t have family or anyone to advocate, for them actually have autoimmune encephalitis in our diagnosed as dementia or mental illness instead.

I watched this for a second time. Being over 65 a lot of my friends are in really terrible health. Poor lifestyle choices,- you're better off isolating. Sometimes being away from people's better than being with them. Read, play music, have a hobby, there's always plenty to do so keep busy. Sort your tools, clean your truck, do your laundry, cook some beautiful food. Engage in meaningless conversations that makes you laugh. Make fun of people. Pay no attention to politics. Drink the cleanest water you can get. Don't drink alcohol and don't smoke cigarettes. Take time and practice remembering your life. Review your life and your choices. If you're over 65 and the average life expectancy is 73.5 How you spend your time is important. Learn from older people. We spend a lot of time talking about trips to the hospital and eating healthy and staying healthy. What foods are good for your gallbladder? What foods are good for your kidneys? What foods are good for your liver and your pancreas? What foods are good for your eyes? When someone gets sick research their illness. Everybody that's 10 years older than you is your warning system. Learn from the mistakes of others. What foods strengthen your immune system? Go for a walk. Sit in the Sun. Take an afternoon nap. Reduce stress. Stay away from people that are stressful. Don't get caught up in other people's emotions. Tell people to fuck off- this reduces depression.

A huge contributor to overmedication is having too many doctors. As we age it is common to have a GP, a cardiologist, and another form one of many fields in which individuals fall. I only have had one regular doctor (at a time) for more than a decade. However, they retire, or leave, or the medical practice leaves town. Just in the last five years five doctors or PAs have tinkered with my medications. I accept the prescriptions and adjust my BP meds to minimize the number of them and just bring my BP in line. If I took them all my BP would be dangerously low some of the time. Fifteen years ago my GP was adamant I take thyroxin, and since then various doctors have continued it blindly until my present doctor. She was amazed - it is apparently rare for a 70 year old man to need thyroxin, and I have never had any of the symptoms of low thyroid.

Oh, not just seniors. They over-medicate everybody for everything now. My Dads' girlfriend got given Percocet for a bladder infection a few months ago. I got prescribed anti-psychotics for anxiety and anger due to severe abuse. I used to live in a long-term care home that was trying to get me to take laxatives every single day. And if anybody develops dementia or other health issues due to over-medication, then they prescribe them MORE medications to treat it. This has all happened within the last year. The whole medical industry is nothing but a profit machine now. 😒

Yes, your dementia related correlation hypothesis with these conditions is a logical connection.

Thank you, doctor. To be honest, my feelings are everything in moderation, including consuming starches & sugar & limited exercises. Taking medications-/allopathics & consuming alcohol are the main culprits. Not everyone is affected by isolation because free people are NOT really isolated. We have books to read, television , phones etc.& there are always things to do. You'll find those who are affected by dementia (through *supposed* isolation) have been taking allopathics for years & are already impaired. These are only *my* opinions from what i've seen over the years. There are millions of elderly people who are really isolated/ lonely and are as sharp as a tack around the world, because they live without medication .

Dr. Dhand, at 4:47 you say insulin resistance happens due to high carbohydrates. How do you explain the absence of diabetes and obesity in BILLIONS of Asians, who ate a diet consisting of 90% white rice prior to 1980?

[@JudithAnn-to9lv]

I'd venture to say that if anyone can only afford rice for 90% of your diet, they cannot afford to buy enough calories to get fat unless they chose to eat solely rice and plenty of it. They also probably had to work which would burn carbs, especially on a low calorie diet. Obesity is a diet of excess, especially an excess of carbs and chemical laden processed foods.

Low in seed oils, nearly no processed foods. Three bowls of rice with fish and vegetables and soups is still under 1800 calories a day. No way to get overweight on that diet.
