A change in amyloid level.

Remember I told you how amyloid ABA 42 to 40 is really more specific than just the levels of either one?

One recent study showed that if you do HRV biofeedback, which is basically breathing slowly, like, you know, five times per minute, that alone makes you feel better, reduces stress.

and it reduces amyloid levels in the brain.

This is what I'm talking about, reversing Alzheimer's disease.

So if you have tau and amyloid levels and you're worried about Alzheimer's disease, sitting down and doing slow breathing for 30 minutes, you know, three or four times a week can reduce the amyloid levels in your brain.

Absolutely.

Now, this is what excited me to write the book.

In the past two or three years, we have come to appreciate that we can view Alzheimer's disease the same way we view diabetes, a condition that could be prevented, managed, and reversed.

And this is what most people don't appreciate.

They feel like, oh, I have high blood levels of these biomarkers, I'm doomed.

And they don't realize that lifestyle interventions can reduce the levels of these biomarkers.

I think you need to look at your brain like a muscle.

The more you use it, the stronger it gets.

And brain training is very similar to physical training.

Remember I told you that the exercise should be something you enjoy doing.

So brain training should not be a chore.

You shouldn't do brain training because you just want to prevent an Alzheimer's disease.

Brain training means that you challenge your brain in a way that is hard for you.

So for example, you could do Sudoku, you could do crossword puzzles, you can do brain games, but you can also learn a new hobby.
