Bolstering heart health is how to combat brain aging and stop cognitive decline. The heart is a vital organ when it comes to cognitive function. We know the heart is important for physical performance, but it is also key to mental functions. The heart delivers both oxygen and nutrients to the body by its efficient pumping ability.

Cognitive Ability

Arrhythmia and electric instability of the heart which is a potentially dangerous abnormal heart rhythm effects physical and mental powers. It is of critical importance to recognize the factors than may cause memory problems.

It has been found that factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol may also be a reason for forgetting things. A study presented at the American Academy of Neurology 63th Annual Meeting shows that people with an elevated heart disease risk in middle age were more likely to have memory and cognitive problems.

Researches have found people who have a 10% higher risk of cardiovascular disease were likely to have lower cognitive function and a faster rate of cognitive decline, than those with the lowest risk of heart disease. 

Patients with heart failure and a low left ejection fraction (LVEF) show declines in memory. Cognitive function in millions of American’s is compromised due to the rising incidence of heart failure in people over the age of 60 according to Dr. Joanne Fiesta  (St Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital New York, N.Y.)

Brain Function

Your brain cells needs a constant fresh supply of oxygen. The longer the level of oxygen remains low the greater are the chances of cognitive decline. Some call this forgetfulness and brain fog, and it is a very common occurrence. Oxygen is the most important thing that brain cells need.

As you age the blood flow naturally drops and flows less efficiently. The nutrients that your brain need to nourish it are depended on how well your heart pumps.

A Framing ham Heart Study found that people whose heart pump efficiently are less likely to experience brain shrinkage.

Boost Your Memory

Now is the time to boost your memory. The way to do that is to take care of your health’s health. This will mean a more productive life in every area. This is the way to retain new information, and remember why you went to the grocery store. What everyone wants is to recall names, events, and have mental clarity and good cognitive function. Without these abilities the quality of your life diminishes.

Metabolic Syndrome

Adults with metabolic syndrome are significantly more likely to experience a decline in cognitive function over time. This is the one area where we have some control. This is a condition brought about by lifestyle.

In a study of generally healthy adults 65 years and older, those with metabolic syndrome were significantly more likely to experience a decline in cognitive function in a few years time. What is of particular interest is the the phase ”generally healthy adults with metabolic syndrome.”

This is where we are heading: health evaluations are taking a downturn, the optimal weight scale has changed and now what it means to be health has changed. Vigorous, energetic, healthy weight, good cognitive abilities, high fitness level, and emotional stability aren’t the baseline of passing the doctors idea of what is good health.

You can be a walking zombie, as long as some numbers are in the ball park, which by the way are changing yearly, you pass the physical. I wonder whose brains aren’t getting enough oxygen.

Back to the topic you are capable of slowing down memory loss and delaying the onset of dementia by following a healthy lifestyle.

Alzheimer’s is a chilling reminder that the medical profession is off the mark. As the numbers climb, we see many inconsistencies in the notions of what causes it. The new numbers include early onset cases. People in the prime of their life are succumbing to this cruel condition. The issue of cognitive decline is going to be one of the ultimate challenges. As this condition strikes people at younger ages there will be many requests for more studies. The notion that this will be solved in a laboratory is due to allopathic medical thinking.

They will find more methods to screen for the condition, but the answers we need will elude them. It is a inflammatory condition, vaccines cause inflammatory responses. They are given to toddlers while their nervous systems are developing. Sluggish thyroid is known to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Data from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging found that less education, heavy smoking and drinking speed up the onset of Alzheimer’s.

Canadian researches found the use of anti–inflammatory drugs, wine consumption, coffee consumption and exercise were associated with a lower risk. Anti-inflammatory agents include nutrients from food. Grape seed extracts have been shown to reduce the plaque formation associated with Alzheimer’s. Omega 3 fish oils, natural vitamin E, DHA, and folic acid have been shown to protect the brain. Exercise has been proven to be very helpful in keeping from developing all forms of cognitive problems.

There will not be one cause of progressive cognitive decline. It will be a combination of poor lifestyle choices, pharmaceuticals, and chronic health conditions. There are plenty of things that cause an inflammatory response in the body from lack of sleep, stress, malnutrition, obesity, and a diabetic condition. Diabetics are prone to Alzheimer’s both from the sugar level, and the medication. If inflammation is behind heart disease, auto-immune conditions, cancer, and cognitive decline, than we already have part of the answer. Inflammation adversely affects the brain before you notice any cognitive decline.

Cognitive decline is a deviation from true health. We think of it as normal, because we are use to seeing this decline. What if it is a reflection of a decline in health, not just of cognitive functioning?  People with sharp memory are showing that they have a healthy brain.

The vaccine issue is real, as they are responsible for an inflammatory response. This is provoked by the vaccine to provide an active immune response. To facilitate this reaction the vaccine uses some pretty nasty substances. The ingredient list is so unappetizing, that the pharmaceutical companies do not make that part of their advertising campaign. The massive number of vaccines is setting the stage for Alzheimer’s and other conditions. There is no way to prove that vaccines are not involved in the wave of conditions that are on the rise.

Alzheimer’s surprises are in the way that the condition is viewed. Hugh Fudenberg, M.D.way back in 1997 presented his research at the NVIC International Vaccine Conference in Virginia,  His data showed that five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 boosted the chances of getting Alzheimer’s disease by 10 times. We are on vaccine overload and it is meaningless to study the connection for the next 10 years. The number of vaccines given to infants, the most vulnerable group shows the dilemma of waiting for Alzheimer’s cases to surge. The easy study would be to cut the number of vaccines, and see if the numbers of cases start to fall. That takes common sense, and a willingness to forgo profits at any price.
