Exercise regularly:
exercise is proven to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in several different ways.
Reduce inflammation :
Even low levels of inflammation from any cause in your body trigger a response by our immune system that can lead to cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s. Inflammation may result from infections, allergies, poor dental health, some medications (e.g. the birth control pill or hormone replacement therapy) or just from being overweight. Weight gain is particularly dangerous if that weight tends to settle around the abdomen and trunk, as opposed to the hips, thighs and buttocks. Central weight gain is associated with higher risk and is also a trigger for systemic inflammation. The best way to test your level of inflammation is with a blood test known as the hs CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein). Your hs-CRP level should be less than 0.7.
Reduce :
stress (as well as anxiety and depression) raises your body’s production of the adrenal hormone cortisol. High levels of cortisol have been shown to lead to memory impairment and atrophy of memory centers in the brain. Stress reduction techniques such as exercise, meditation, yoga, Tai Chi and biofeedback may help to combat chronic stress, anxiety and depression.
Use your head:
you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. Studies suggest that engaging the brain in complex tasks, interesting activities and social engagement may have a protective effect.
Rest :
regular pattern of restful sleep is an important “battery charge” for the brain. Disordered, irregular sleep may have long-term effects on brain function.
Hold off on heavy metals:
Heavy metals such as mercury and lead are known to cause brain injury that may not be reversible. Sources of heavy metals include large fish (such as swordfish, tuna steaks, tilefish, king mackerel, shark, halibut and mahi-mahi), which are high in mercury and “silver” dental fillings. Lead exposure may occur from old paint and some calcium supplements, which have recently found to be contaminated with lead.
