The cause of the protein structures that destroy brain cells is still unknown. The plaques and tangles that form on the brain cause the memory loss and personality changes that is part of this awful disease called Alzheimer's Disease or AD. AD is just one of many things menace the brain. Inflammation comes with aging and occurs in the joints, skin and the brain. Inflammation causes arthritis, skin wrinkles and memory problems.
Ministrokes cause blockage of the tiny blood vessels within the brain. One small stroke does not cause damage, but the cumulative effect of hundreds of strokes causes enough damage to effect normal function and memory. It is important to try to prevent and delay any illness of the brain. Protect the brain and you can also prevent heart attack, AD and stroke.
- Control your blood pressure. High blood pressure reduces blood flow to the brain. This precious part of the body then gets deprived of oxygen and valuable nutrients. Strokes and AD can occur.
- Lower cholesterol. High levels of LDL also cause narrowing of the blood vessels and impairs circulation. Research also shows that high cholesterol promotes the development of plaque, which increases the danger of getting Alzheimer's Disease.
