In this referenced video I discuss Alzheimer's dementia. This condition is incurable and is one of the top 10 causes of death in United States. Nicholas Norwitz was the lead author on a paper titled: Precision nutrition for Alzheimer's prevention in ApoE4 carriers. I reviewed this Journal article that came out in the Journal of Nutrients in 2021. I briefly discussed Apo E4 alleles and incidence of Alzheimer's dementia. I also discussed amyloid plaque and tau tangles. I did discuss some of the impact of environment and genetics. I briefly discuss neuro inflammation, cholesterol metabolism, blood flow issues, and hyperinsulinemia as pathology that increases risk for Alzheimer's dementia in combination with the ApoE4 mutation. I discuss targeted treatment such as low carbohydrate, ketogenic, and Mediterranean diets. I discuss certain foods such as extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, fatty fish and their benefit in prevention. I discuss limiting or avoiding alcohol. I also discuss certain supplements that can be beneficial.
