One thing this and many other studies showed are, consistency and following in all categories (called multi modal) every day is better than once in a while and following only few categories.  So the change has to be broad.  The side benefit is heart attacks have similar improvements as they share similar pathologies.  The above particular research goes on to say “the onset of dementia in Alzheimer’s patients is slowed, stopped and further reversed in a 20 week study”. That’s remarkable!

Below research just came out! Alzheimer’s progression slowed down, due to lifestyle changes!  Out of 26 patients, 10 – 24 improved in various degrees.

I will be explaining the significance of this research in a few posts, taking a deep scientific dive to understand the basis and reasoning so we can better understand the lifestyle we should be living with.  The deep science helps us create our own programs that can fit our lifestyle rather than trying to fit the lifestyle of others.  Also, knowing the science behind, makes you a stronger believer and can better adhere to the goals.  A stronger conviction is necessary in the end, all of the advice will be nothing new your mother didn’t tell you before.  But following it is hard, and the focus is to make it easier to follow.  

The four major areas they identified that resulted in benefits are, diet, non sedentary lifestyle, emotional stress and social isolation.  This i\s the whole kitchen sink! But I will make sense out of this by discussing what molecular mechanisms are responsible and what other ways we can control them socially so you can decide how to create the lifestyle without involving doctors and drugs.
