There’s plenty of evidence to show that Type 2 diabetes can increase your risk of dementia, and some data suggesting similar findings for Type 1. But according to two researchers, calling Alzheimer’s disease Type 3 diabetes may be oversimplifying things (as I’ve said for many years—it’s just not that simple, there is much more to it). https://www.uchealth.org/today/diabetes-increases-risk-of-alzheimers-disease/

Consuming a plant-forward diet (like KetoFLEX 12/3) can support gut health, reduce inflammation, and protect cells from oxidative stress, and new research shows it increases your likelihood of reaching age 70 without chronic ailments. Unsurprisingly, ultra-processed foods were associated with a lower chance of healthy aging. https://www.prevention.com/food-nutrition/healthy-eating/a70009416/best-healthy-aging-diet-study/

Dementia may show non-cognitive symptoms \ before your memory starts to decline, just as Parkinson’s may show harbingers before motor symptoms. The team at HuffPost compiled a list of six common physical symptoms to look for. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/physical-symptoms-of-dementia-goog_l_69976974e4b0c988997d3179

New research has found that cognitive enrichment can reduce your risk of dementia by 38% and delay onset by almost 5 years (though a precision protocol can do far better). Participants with higher cognitive enrichment scores also saw better baseline cognitive function and slower cognitive decline. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/lifelong-cognitive-enrichment-tied-lower-dementia-risk-2026a10005c4

The health risks associated with lead are well known, but new research has found that high bone lead levels can triple your risk of Alzheimer’s. Current blood lead levels didn’t see the same increase, which points more toward lifelong exposure. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/lifetime-lead-exposure-may-harm-brain-health

The Mediterranean Diet, which is similar to KetoFLEX 12/3 (but lacks the important mild ketosis that KetoFLEX 12/3 provides), was associated with lower risk for multiple sclerosis in a large prospective study. Even small steps toward the diet had large protective benefits. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/mediterranean-diet-linked-lower-multiple-sclerosis-risk-2025a100109x?ecd=mkm_ret_260211_mscpmrk_neuro_multiple-sclerosis_etid8093906&uac=520565MG&impID=8093906

An analysis of two small clinical trials has shown that electromagnetic network-targeted field (ENTF) therapy and physical therapy significantly reduce risk of disability after a stroke. More research is necessary, but this is an interesting development. https://newsroom.heart.org/news/stimulating-the-brain-with-electromagnetic-therapy-after-stroke-may-help-reduce-disability

Clearing beta-amyloid plaques does not repair key brain functions, according to new research from Japan on the drug lecanemab. The researchers are, unfortunately, just catching up to what all of us have known for over a decade. You need to address the actual drivers of the disease. Once you’ve done that, assisting in plaque removal may provide some benefit. Otherwise, you’re just replacing wet furniture without fixing the hole in your roof. http://sciencealert.com/one-of-our-biggest-hopes-for-alzheimers-treatment-doesnt-seem-to-work
