The two components that are still being worked out are the amyloid plaques and tau tangles.
And you want to hear the most exciting thing that is just fascinating?
Sure.
Lifestyle factors can change the level of amyloid and tau.
So we always used to think that, okay, you have these treatable components that we can manage through lifestyle and addressing your medical conditions.
And we have these two stubborn Alzheimer components, which are just, you know, Alzheimer's disease.
They come out of nowhere.
And what we have discovered in the past five years or so is that many lifestyle factors
affect the levels of these amyloid plaques and tau tangles.
Let me give you two examples.
If you look at people and ask them what they eat and monitor them for five, 10, 15 years, some people eat a Mediterranean diet and some people don't.
It turns out that people who eat fruits and vegetables and they like olive oil and they don't eat junk food,
have a brain that is 18 years younger when it comes to levels of amyloid plaques and talotangles.
18 years young.
And the only difference between these two groups is the diet.
Another example, they looked at people and asked them how much they walked and they measured how many steps per day they're walking.
And they found that people who walk three to 5,000 steps a day have far less tau in their brain than people who don't walk.
So that's what's exciting.
And that's what I talk about in my book, that these lifestyle factors are really getting to the core of what we call Alzheimer's disease.
Not only these factors address these non-Alzheimer's components, the inflammation, the blood flow, and the rinsing of the brain, they also address the very evil plaques and tangles.
