I'm sitting on the couch next to my dad who has advanced dementia. I'm eating banana, oranges and black grapes. I've only been WFPB for 10 days but feel realky good. Healing my gut from IBS-D already. I'm hopeful this new lifestyle will help with the dementia that is on both my maternal and paternal families.

Great job! Keep clearing that cholesterol from your body. It’s caused by a poor diet more than your genetics. My mom died from Alzheimers. What a nightmare disease.

I have 2 grandparents, one maternal and one paternal, that have died from Alzheimer’s. I have been vegan for 10 years and WFPB more recently cutting way back on salt, oil, processed foods. I exercise daily and walk after lunch as a rule. Hoping these things pull me thru… so much thanks Dr Gregor and team for the hard work on videos like this that help keep us motivated to stay the course.♥️♥️♥️

Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices. Fasting should be investigated as a treatment for disease.

In Finland osteoporosis is very common and no other nation consumes as much dairy per person as us. No one notices anything.

My mom went plant based after going through Pritikin cardiac rehab following a heart attack 5 years ago. She is stricter than Pritikin- more like Ornish. 100% compliant. She also takes atorvastatin and blood pressure meds. Perfect weight and walks daily. Sadly she is now having mild cognitive disorder with memory issues.

@catherinekasmer9905 2 ай бұрын

Dr. Bredesen promotes high fat keto diet. My dad tried his protocol 8 years ago for Alzheimer’s. He charged 30K for his program. Initially the Cleveland Clinic dept of Functional Medicine was supporting it and we went to a doctor there quarterly. However, the program did not work and they dropped their support suddenly with no explanation. In my dad’s case, his vascular issues got worse and his Alzheimer’s got worse too.

It's no silver bullet, I'm sad to say. My wife and I have been vegetarian for 50 years, and whole food vegans since 2011, and my wife is slipping into dementia. She hasn't had a cold in years, and she is on no medications at the age of 79, but her memory is declining. We walk every day, and meditate, too. No alcohol or thc. Maybe declining more slowly than she would be on a SAD diet, but who knows.

Make sure you know what her diagnosis is. I don't know what your diet consists in, but vegans are often deficient in vitamins D and B12, and iodine. Check that, it's standard testing for older vegans.

Great information. I follow WFPB and have found so many benefits for my body, digestive tract, LDL cholesterol levels and overall wellbeing. I wonder what Dr. Greger thinks about the use of Photomodulation and the NIH studies indicating the benefits of specific LED nm levels placed on the head and its impact on dementia/Alzheimer's and other brain diseases.

I suspect the answer exists at the confluence of phytonutrients and gut microbiome. We still do not know enough about the gut microbiome. By far, easily the most exciting field of medical science.

The people in the study had very low cholesterol levels which means they must have been on statins which is what caused Alzheimer's disease. There is a chance they were already on a low fat vegan diet but the study did not say what they were eating for the last 70 years. Take your pick either 1) the low fat vegan diet or 2) the unknown diet with statins which lowered their cholesterol both destroyed their health. The study also had people using 14 unregulated synthetic supplements which eventually in time will destroy your health.

Will we get a study where both have the non-dietary lifestyle interventions? It would be good to see the effect size of going vegan vs being more social and mindfulness exercises. If they then combined the results of the studies, we should learn a lot.

A whole food plant based diet is the only way to live, but it isn’t a silver bullet. We’re all gonna die of something. It won’t prevent 100% of dementias. Even false hope brings some relief, I suppose.

Ive been striving to eat according to Dr. G for almost 3 months. I'm not perfect at it, but I have been successful at the elimination of processed foods and animal products with the exclusion of occasional fish and eggs. I'm working towards ditching those as well. But the trouble I've run into is trying to find the time to do all of this chopping and cutting and planning and shopping. I am a high school teacher, and like most teachers, I also have a side hustle. I find on days I take the time to cook, I have no time to exercise. And trying to keep up with all the health stuff while maintaining relationships leaves no time to clean my house or do other things. It has become a heavy burden, but I NEVER want to go back to eating garbage, so I stay stuck in this feeling of overwhelm and always trying to catch up.

@@annissagraves3076 Yeah. I really appreciate your reply. I do tend to batch cook, and it helps some, but my husband and family insist on eating my cooking even though they supplement it with meat and processed foods. I can't tell them NOT to eat it because I want them to be healthy, and I figure that some healthy food is better than none. They do help with dishes and some prep, but it is still a huge burden. I'm hanging in there with the hope that it will get better though.

Neuro degeneration is a complex issue. Certainly a WFPBD will help in many respects, but environmental and other acquired neurotoxins, mainly heavy metals, is another potentially significant factor. In my practice over the last 35+ years I have seen dramatic improvements after long-term, evidence-based detoxification and chelation have been used. Future studies will hopefully validate this important aspect.
