[REVEALED] A Surprising Alzheimer’s CLUE (Must-Read)?

By Jack Taylor Posted December 13, 2021

Did you know that Alzheimer’s disease was discovered way back in 1906? 

And since then, this memory-altering disease has shattered the lives – and independence – of millions of innocent Americans… 

With ZERO signs of slowing down! 

In fact, as many as 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease today… and according to the CDC, that number is projected to nearly triple to 14 million people by 2060. 

And while there is still no viable ‘cure’ for Alzheimer’s, scientists and researchers haven’t stopped zeroing in on how the disease starts.  

Well, my friend, today I’m here to share some good news in the fight against Alzheimer’s. 

Scientists may have stumbled upon a critical clue as to how the disease develops… 

It’s a clue that could one day help change how Alzheimer’s is diagnosed and treated. 

If you have a history of Alzheimer’s in your family, here’s everything you need to know about the latest research around the disease.   

According to a study published in the Journal of Proteome Research, researchers from the University of California-Riverside have found that it’s not just the abnormal buildup of amyloid plaque in your brain that causes Alzheimer’s… 

But it’s also the slow-down of cells’ ability to clean themselves that can accelerate the progression of the disease.  

In other words, while it’s widely known that plaque buildups in your brain can lead to Alzheimer’s, it’s your body’s waning ability to clean these plaques that can actually cause the disease.  

Your body’s natural way of ‘cleaning house’ and doing away with used up or defective proteins from cells is called autophagy – a process that scientists have found slows down as you age.  

But lead researchers of this latest study on the cause of Alzheimer’s believe that taking steps to speed up or keep the autophagy process in tact can significantly reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s down the road.  

Again, this is NOT a cure for Alzheimer’s… it’s simply a research-based finding into the origins of the disease. But knowing these origins could one day help stop or slow down the disease.  

In the meantime, there are steps you can take to beef up your body’s autophagy process. 

Research has found that simple steps like avoid excess calories, avoiding processed foods, staying active, and getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night are some of the simplest – and most effective – ways to maintain proper autophagy.  

Remember, if you have a history of Alzheimer’s in your family (or are showing signs of memory loss), the single best thing you can do is continue to work with a treatment and prevention plan with your doctor.
