Add These Foods To Your Diet To Avoid Alzheimer’s!

Here’s some great news: Alzheimer’s is an illness that can be avoided by making lifestyle changes! And the earlier we start, the better. That’s according to Dr. Richard Isaacson, director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Cornell University Medical College.
In fact, Dr. Isaacson says that anyone under 40 can practically guarantee a dementia-free old age by staying mentally and physically active, reducing their stress, and making these dietary changes:
#1: Cut out processed foods. Every time we eat something that spikes blood glucose levels – like fast food and refined carbs - our hippocampus takes a hit. And that’s a big deal because that’s the area of the brain responsible for memory and spatial navigation.
This next tip cuts the risk of dementia by 35%: Fill half your plate with vegetables – especially dark, leafy greens. Because studies show a vegetable-rich diet prevents the inflammation that’s associated with cognitive decline.
Another anti-Alzheimer’s tip: Eat cold-water fish twice a week. It boosts blood flow to the brain, and reduces plaque buildup, a top cause of Alzheimer's.
Finally: Dr. Isaacson says we should eat berries 3 times a week, and enjoying a square of dark chocolate every day. In studies, doing that delayed cognitive decline in seniors. It’s down to the flavonoids in chocolate and berries that keep brain cells functioning normally.
Make Your Workspace More Productive!

Whether you’re working from home, or in an office, the environment could be killing your productivity. Here’s how to get your workspace to work for you…
First, turn up the lights. Psychologist Dr. Paul Hokemeyer says our body clock, or circadian rhythm, is mostly controlled by sunlight exposure. It’s why we tend to have a burst of energy in the morning. But around mid-afternoon, Dr. Hokemeyer says our bodies try to go into “recharge mode,” which makes us sleepy. But we can temporarily hijack that urge by increasing the amount of light we’re exposed to. So just turn on an extra desk lamp, or walk outside. That tricks your body into thinking there’s another sunrise coming, so we feel more energized.
Another productivity killer is stale indoor air. Breathing stale indoor air causes a significant drop in brain function! So, try using a portable desk-sized air purifier. Or add some plants to your workspace, to absorb and filter air pollutants. Research shows those simple moves are proven to boost cognitive performance by up to 26%!
Finally, let’s talk about the temperature. A CareerBuilder survey found when air is “too hot” or “too cold,” workers make significantly more errors, and are less productive. So, what’s the ideal working temperature? A study found we make the fewest errors – and are most productive - when the thermostat is set to 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Get Your Old-School Fitness Fix!

Old-school fitness has made a BIG comeback…
Without being able to go to the gym for the better part of a year, a lot of people rediscovered the simple pleasures of back-to-basics exercise.
Like jogging, walking, biking, and using playground equipment to do pull ups.
For example, the running app Runkeeper saw a 252% increase in new users over the past year. And, “outdoor activities” were among the top fitness trends for 2021, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
And it turns out, you don't need fancy equipment to get a good workout.
Studies show that virtually any amount of physical activity can help prevent chronic disease, boost longevity and improve mental health. And outdoor activity is especially good for both the mind and body.
Cedric Bryant is the chief science officer at the nonprofit American Council on Exercise. He thinks the 20% of the population who were gymgoers before the pandemic will go back to the gym. But he says the renaissance of simple fitness will continue… Timeless activities like running, biking, and hiking. Bryant says, “People are going to return to the gym, but people will also find that our gym can be anywhere.”
Help Your Pudgy Pets!

Have you gained the Covid-15? Well, just like humans are struggling with a little extra poundage these days, our pets aren’t far behind!
According to Banfield Pet Hospital, the nation’s largest general veterinary practice, in 2020, the number of dog patients diagnosed as overweight rose 2.5 percent! That may not seem significant - but Banfield says it’s the biggest one-year increase they’ve seen in the past decade!
Molly McAllister is Banfield’s chief medical officer… and she says, with families home all the time, pets go from human to human displaying “treat seeking behavior.” And if your spouse doesn't know you already gave Max and Bella a treat, he might give them treats, too.
Veterinarians say treats should make up no more than 10% of a pet’s daily calories. But, in the last 12 months, sales of pet treats rose 11%! And a one-ounce cube of cheese is the equivalent of a fast-food burger for a small dog!
And pandemic stress is also contributing. Yes, pets stress-eat just like we do! They may not be able to open the cupboard, but they can beg until you give in!
So limit treats and table scraps and make sure your pets are getting plenty of exercise!
They’ll live longer, healthier lives.
