Dr. Ajibade currently hosts and presents a weekly TV show entitled: Your Health in Your Hands, an innovative show focused on educating the Nigerian public on health matters of special importance to people of African, specifically Black African origin.

Role of Melatonin in Brain Protection and Repair

I emphasize melatonin because most seniors have problems sleeping.
Some of my patients take as much as 40 to 50 milligrams at night, especially those who are dealing with severe forms of Alzheimer's disease.
Melatonin is very important, not just for sleep, but also for brain protection and brain repair.

Every patient with dementia is different. However, basic things are all across the board, and if a patient is manifesting in certain ways, there are obviously some things that they are lacking.
There are certain nutraceuticals that specifically switch on the body's brain's genes or the brain's ability to enhance or regulate, repair, and even remove damaged brain cells.
There are also other nutrients that help to stimulate or enhance mitochondrial activity so the brain can produce more energy.

"Energy is very important for the brain. The brain contains about 100 million synapses, and most activities happen when two brain cells connect to pass information. Without adequate energy, these networks can’t function properly, and communication between brain cells may begin to fail.

Understanding Dementia;

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia in older adults.
Dementia typically develops after the age of 65, in which case it is referred to as late-onset dementia. When symptoms appear before age 65, it is classified as early-onset dementia.

“Balanced diet” or not, the food we eat today is often compromised in various ways, leaving us deficient in certain essential nutrients.

Soil depletion, food processing, long storage times, and chemical preservatives all reduce the nutritional value of what we consume.

Even fresh fruits and vegetables may not contain the same levels of vitamins and minerals they did decades ago, which is why supplementation is becoming increasingly important.
