Billions of dollars have been poured into Alzheimer’s drug research in recent years. So far, the effort has been a total failure.
No medications have been found that prevent or reverse Alzheimer’s.
Meanwhile, the incidence of the disease is exploding.[1]
But what if the best Alzheimer’s drug is not a drug at all?
A study shows exactly how one food keeps you mentally sharp—and why it may be the best weapon against Alzheimer’s.… Read More
Mushrooms contain compounds that boost brain nerves, increase gray matter, and prevent Alzheimer’s disease.[1]
That’s the conclusion of an exhaustive review of studies examining the effects of mushrooms on brain health. Scientists found that eating the fungi have a “preventive function against the development of Alzheimer’s disease.”[2]
The researchers say mushrooms contain antioxidant chemicals that protect against the inflammation that leads to cognitive decline.… Read More

The benefits of walking are both profound and well-proven. Putting one foot in front of the other is linked to longer life, weight loss, stronger bones and muscles, better mood, improved lung function, and lower risk of Alzheimer’s.… Read More
Like a glass (or two) of wine with dinner?
Here’s good news…
A major new study of nearly 20,000 Americans shows that moderate drinking actually helps preserve your memory and thinking skills as you get older.
The research was published in the journal JAMA Network Open. It showed that men who had fewer than 15 drinks a week were 34% less likely to experience cognitive decline.… Read More
Air pollution is an underrated killer.
Most of us don’t think of it as a major threat to our health. But it’s linked to heart disease, cancer, strokes, cognitive problems, lung disease, and diabetes.
It’s responsible for 107,000 American deaths a year, according to a University of Minnesota study. That’s more people than die in car accidents.[1]
Another recent study found that even if you’ve never lit a cigarette in your life, your lungs may be as badly damaged as someone who has smoked a pack a day for 29 years if you live in one of six major U.S.… Read More
