Diet and exercise could help avoid or delay the onset of Alzheimer's. Experts from around the world are discussing how to top diagnose Alzheimer's disease as early as possible. At this weekend's symposium hosted by Mt. Sinai Medical Center they talk about look at Alzheimer's from a special approach like heart disease. Dr. Ranjan Duara from Mt. Sinai said, "Should we sense it just like we detect high cholesterol in people's blood and we start treat high cholesterol whether or not they have any symptoms." Plaques that put in the brain, one of the biomarkers for Alzheimer's. So is subtle shrinking of the brain's memory center which can occur 10 to 20 years before symptoms develop.
Daily exercise is one of the lifestyle changes suggested for prevention or delay of Alzheimer's. A neurologist at the university of Miami puts all of his Alzheimer's patients on a diet, which he also suggest for family members at higher risk. Dr. Richard Isaacson, from the University of Miami Neurology explained, "It's a 9 week preparation that patient's follow. We'll slowly reduce the amount of carbs that they eat over a 9 week period." Margaret Alfonso was following Dr. Isaacson's orders for her 93-year-old mother who has Alzheimer's, "My mother had very brawny cravings for sugars for patelitos and so we have really worked at cutting that back as much as possible."
In his book that focuses on ways to help avoid and treat Alzheimer's, Dr. Isaacson explains the carb connection, "Carbohydrates that have a high glycemic index, meaning they are leaving to your pancreas is going to secrete that insulin. Insulin may cause inflammation in the tissues and particularly in the brain." So Margaret buys her mother whole particle and stays away from corn syrup, and gives her certain supplements like Turmeric. Lessons she's apply to herself, "You know, like I require to keep on that path to be conscious of the carbohydrates that I eat," she said.
