Alzheimer’s Epidemic: Lifestyle Habits That Lead to Dementia
The Dr. Hyman Show
The Importance of Lifestyle Choices in Dementia Prevention
Functional medicine emphasizes the significance of lifestyle choices, particularly diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management, as foundational elements for health and dementia prevention. While medical interventions are important, individuals can take proactive steps to improve their health without needing a doctor's assistance. Key lifestyle factors, such as daily nutrition, quality of relationships, stress levels, sleep patterns, and physical activity, play a crucial role in long-term health outcomes. Additionally, awareness of toxic exposures—specifically chemical toxicity, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and mold-associated toxins—is essential. Although certain risk factors such as age, gender, and genetics are immutable, individuals can actively work to mitigate their toxic exposures and enhance their detoxification abilities, which can significantly influence the risk of developing dementia.
