Old Dogs, New tricks and How to Prevent Dementia

Old dogs, New
tricks
             and
why it matters like never before

Rachel Flower talks about brain health, and how
to prevent  (and even reverse) dementia

You can’t teach an old
dog new tricks they say. But that’s not actually true. Our brains are way more
adaptable than we thought. We can reverse many of the signs of aging as new
studies in brain health reveal. Believe it or not, we can actually reverse some
of the signs of dementia and Alzheimers. With a few simple tools, we can become
more vibrant, more creative and actively prevent these awful diseases.

5.2 million people in the
US suffer from dementia or Alzheimers, and it will double every 5 years if we
don’t do something about it. It’s already taking it’s toll, not just on the
patients, but their caregivers. 80% of caregivers for people affected are
non-professional, and of all the caregivers (professional and not) 40% of them
will die before the people they are caring for. The stress, the burnout, the
burden is immense. And we have a pandemic on the horizon.

Next to cancer, dementia
is the number one health fear in the US. Understandably so. Who wants to forget
the name of their grandchild? Who wants to lose their cherished memories, their
mind, and their dignity taboot?

As we reach middle age,
we joke about senior moments’. We lose our glasses. We forget names. We say
this is all just part of aging. But it doesn’t need to be. These are the early
signs of cognitive decline, but we don’t have to succumb. We can fight back and
create new pathways in the brain. It all depends on how much we want it and
whether we’re prepared to adjust our lifestyle in a way that promotes brain
health.
