Threats To Our Brains

• Our bodies and minds are not well-suited to the modern Western diet and lifestyle. This is not news to the scientific world.
• Our genetics evolved under very different conditions, and as a result, our health, happiness, and mental function are all suffering. [See Ancestral Health]
• Neurologist and researcher Dr Dale Bredesen states, in his groundbreaking 2017 book The End of Alzheimer's:

“…cognitive decline is largely a matter of three fundamental threats to our brain:

1. inflammation;

2. a shortage of brain-boosting nutrients, hormones, and other cognition-supporting molecules; and

3. toxic exposure

What we call Alzheimer’s disease is a protective response to these three brain threats.”

• Now THAT is news.
• If we want our minds to stay sharp until we die, and for our "health span" to last as long as our lifespan, we need to pay attention to these threats to our cognitive function.
