High Performance Health Bitesize Biohack: Preventing Alzheimer’s - The Secrets To A Healthy Brain with Dr Kavita Desai
Angela rewinds to present a biohack where the focus is on lifestyle and nutritional prevention for dementia, addressing both men and women. Dr Kavita Desai highlights several key factors to consider, including the importance of adopting a whole foods diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, as well as reducing the toxic burden by opting for organic and grass-fed food sources
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Avoid processed foods and focus on consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Opt for organic and grass-fed options when possible to reduce toxic burden.
- Engage in regular exercise, including weight training, to maintain muscle mass and overall health. Even simple activities like walking can be beneficial.
- Establish good sleep hygiene by reducing caffeine and alcohol intake before bed, cutting off dinner a few hours before sleep, and minimising device usage before bedtime. Consider leaving electronic devices outside the bedroom to reduce exposure to EMF waves.
- Incorporate stress-reducing practices like meditation, mindfulness, and spending time in nature. These practices have been shown to improve brain health and reduce inflammation in the body.
BEST MOMENTS
"Our modern day diet has become increasingly processed, full of chemicals."
"Glucose imbalances and diabetes…start to process sugars differently."
"Weight training is key, at least three times a week."
"Meditation has actually been shown to improve the grey matter in our brains."
