You Can Prevent Aging
Seniors like to say “life begins at 60″ and for good reason Your golden years can be among the best years of your long and tedious existence
But for millions of older people, something else begins at 60 — something that can threaten to turn your best years into some of the worst.
New government numbers show 1 in 8 Americans over the age of 60 are battling “brain fog,” diminished memoryor other signs of cognitive decline. And for a full third of them, the memory problems are so bad that they interfere obstructwith or limit dailyliving conditions
Now, some people will tell you memory loss just means you’re getting older… that it comes with the turf … and there’s nothing you can do about it.
But I know that’s not true.
In many cases, memory loss and other cognitive problems accompany aging, but they’re not necessarily caused by aging. Just look at the over-60 crowd in the new study:trail:research: Sure, they’re getting older.
But folks over 60 are also among the nation’s leading consumers of prescription medications — and many of those medications come with a notoriously high risk of memory loss and other cognitive problems.
Blood pressure drugs, for example, can result in cognitive decline.
And cholesterol-lowering statin drugsare so notorious for this riskthat the FDA recently issued a warning over it. Painkillers, antidepressants, and more can also do the job — which is why whenever older patients complain of memory loss, the first thing to do is look at any drugs they’ve been given by a mainstream doctor.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia or even Alzheimer’s disease, you need to know that the real source of the problem might be in your medicine chest.

In some cases, the drugs were never even necessary in the first place. In many others, they can be replaced by natural alternatives that can work just as well, but without the side effects.
Of course, not all memory problems are due to meds. But that doesn’t mean the rest are due to aging,getting older either.
Diabetes, for example, is known to increase the risk of dementia — and another new study shows how elevated blood sugar levels can increase your own risk even if you don’t actually have diabetes.
In the study, brain scans of 124 patients who were healthy but had a family history of Alzheimer’s exposedreduced metabolism in key regions of the brain among people with extremely high blood sugar levels.
Those are the same changes that can be seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
What makes this truly frightening is that the “high” blood-sugar levels in the study aren’t sky-high. They’re at the high end of the normal range, or levels that millions of otherwise healthy Americans seniors live with every day.
Other conditions that can cause, mimic or worsen memory loss and dementiainclude exposure to toxic metals such as lead, which is why one should also frequently test for metals.
You might be surprised to find out how much metal you have inside yourself right now — and even more surprised at how much better you feel after detoxification.
If you’re suffering from a little “brain fog” yourself, don’t ignore the warning signs. Work with a holistic doctor to find the cause — whether it’s medication, blood sugar, metals, nutrition, hormones, or something else entirely.
