Alzheimers
David asked:


There is a lot of mental illness in my family. My paternal grandpa was an alcoholic, had dementia and died from Alzheimers. Two of his sisters, as well as his parents, all suffered from mental illness and killed themselves at different times. Sometimes I worry for my dad, who is 50 now. What are things I can do to reduce getting Alzheimers or dementia? I’m 18 now.

      Stay active - exercise, walk, bike, swim - just stay active and don’t eat a lot of fatty foods. Lots of vegies and fruits.

      Alzheimer’s is caused by low dopamine levels. Therefore, supplement with something that will raise your dopamine levels.
