Your brain is your greatest asset and its health is indispensable to you and your family. When your brain works right, you work right. When your brain doesn’t work right, you don’t work right. Having a sharp mind will give you years of fulfilling and productive life. Ignoring your brain can lead straight to dementia. You will then lose your independence, be a burden to others, and die prematurely.
Step 1: The first step is to know the vulnerability of your brain and risk for developing dementia. Through a detailed medical history, proper bloodwork, computerized neurocognitive testing, and a brain SPECT scan, we can tell you exactly where you stand.
Step 2: The next step is to stop the things that can hurt your brain:
- Advanced glycation end-products
- Diabetes
- Drugs and alcohol
- Environmental toxins
- Excess caffeine
- High blood pressure
- Infections
- Insomnia
- Lack of exercise
- Low hormones
- Overweight or obesity
- Sleep apnea
- Smoking
- Stress and negative thinking
- Sugar and processed foods
- Unhealthy/negative peer group
Step 3: The final step is to do the things that help your brain:
- Brain-healthy supplements
- Clean environment
- Gratitude
- Healthy diet
- Maintain optimum weight
- Making love
- New learning activities
- Positive social connections
- Pure water: 6-8 glasses per day
- Regular vigorous exercise
- Sleep: 7-8 hours per night
- Stress management
Comments: For some, the above steps are not enough. They need to do more and we can help. At our office in Mount Dora, we are pioneering breakthrough treatments for those with age-related cognitive decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and early-stage dementia. If started early, our advanced approach can help repair a deteriorating brain by targeting the numerous underlying pathological conditions that cripple and destroy the brain.
