Frequently Asked Questions
Can Alzheimer’s disease be prevented?
Growing evidence suggests yes — for the majority of cases. The FINGER trial (2,654 participants) showed a multidomain lifestyle intervention reduced cognitive decline by 31%. The SPRINT MIND trial showed blood pressure control below 120 mmHg reduced mild cognitive impairment by 19%. APOE4 carriers have higher risk but lifestyle modification significantly modifies that risk.
What is BDNF and why does it matter?
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is the brain’s most important growth protein — essential for neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive resilience. It declines with age, stress, sleep deprivation, and sedentary behavior. The most powerful BDNF boosters: aerobic exercise (50-100% increase), intermittent fasting, omega-3 (DHA), and cold exposure.
What is the best diet for brain health?
The MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) reduced Alzheimer’s risk by 53% in high adherents and 35% in moderate adherents. Key foods: leafy greens daily, berries 2x/week, nuts, olive oil, fish 1x/week, beans, whole grains, poultry 2x/week.
