Metabolism and Alzheimer's
- Alzheimer's is increasing faster than the aging population, suggesting non-genetic factors.
- The root cause is metabolic dysfunction, affecting how cells use energy, impacting overall health and the brain.
Metabolism Explained
- Metabolism is the process of cells using fuel, like glucose, for energy.
- Mitochondria are the cell's furnaces, crucial for this process, especially in the energy-hungry brain.
Mitochondrial Threats
- Threats to mitochondria like processed foods, fructose, and environmental toxins harm brain health.
- These factors increase inflammation, impacting mitochondrial function and setting the stage for decline.
