Surprisingly, one of the earliest signs of dementia involves the retina. There is a high correlation between problems in the retina and problems in the brain. Problems with night vision or central vision, floaters, and light sensitivity issues are the earliest signs of dementia.
Some people develop amyloid-beta plaquing on the retina and may experience problems differentiating shades of grey and other colors. Researchers have found high levels of microbes, typically found in the mouth, in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
When people die from dementia, it’s usually caused by an infection such as a UTI or lung infection. For some people, surgery can be too much on the body and lead to death. Some people with dementia have a slow, progressive degeneration of the brain to the point they’re bedridden and stop eating and drinking, which ultimately leads to death.
Focus on cleaning your brain and reducing inflammation for dementia prevention. The glymphatic system cleans the brain, mainly at night, which is one of the primary purposes of sleep. This system removes malformed proteins and plaquing and rejuvenates the brain.
Anything that inhibits sleeping may increase your risk for Alzheimer’s, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, blood sugar issues, and type 2 diabetes. Sleep apnea can also be problematic. You need 8 to 9 hours of sleep! Alcohol significantly interferes with REM sleep and is very damaging to brain health.
To prevent Alzheimer’s, you must flood the brain with oxygen. Exercise is one of the best ways to do this! Exercise stimulates the growth of brain cells and the hormone BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor).
Adequate sun exposure and high amounts of vitamin D can help support healthy sleep.
A diet high in sugar and carbohydrates can starve your neurons. Brain cells love ketones! To get into ketosis, you must lower your carbohydrate intake. If you have any early signs of dementia, try taking ketones as a supplement or MCT oil. Niacin may also be helpful. Take 50 mg daily, slowly increasing to 500 mg per day.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you spot the early warning signs of dementia. I’ll see you in the next video.
I thought I had plans, but this video just became the main event

Right😂😂😂😂❤
Did you forget where your keys were? Thats okay.
Did you forget what your keys are for? Worry.
Ditto!
The earliest sign of dementia involves retina issues. Prevention includes brain cleaning through sleep, avoiding alcohol, exercise, vitamin D, and a ketogenic diet. Niacin supplementation may help. Early detection and lifestyle changes are crucial for brain health.
I like avoiding exercise! Sounds like something I could do.
And MCT oil
@hoopoe9629 what is mct oil?

Sometimes, I think growing up in poverty kept us healthy. We grew our own produce in the back yard and had to hunt for our own meat. Mom always cooked very healthy meals as a result. OVER! indulgence can KILL anybody!
Same with us!! Big garden, fruit trees, chickens for eating and hens for eggs. Lots of work. We didn’t drink pop or eat a lot of sweets.
But… everyone smoked.
Well said 🎯
That’s not really poverty that’s more of self sustainability. Poverty in my opinion is only being able to afford processed high sodium foods.
@here_4_the_commentz OH! So you were one of the rich!? We couldn’t afford even that! Fast food was a fantasy in our house. A rare treat! Of course, we learned to simply disregard all of it.
Absolutely. Many poor children in Africa are way more happy, healthy and sane than most children in “developed countries”.
A very interesting article. I’m 69 years “young” and very active. My mom at 92 has been dealing with dementia for almost 10 years. It’s very sad to see her waste away as the mom I knew. I want to do everything in my power to hopefully protect myself from this disease 😢.

💡It’s caused by Parasites. Most parasites are experts at stealth and many people can have a parasitic infection in their brain or elsewhere for years without ever knowing it.

Apparently creatine supplementation helps
Sleeping is important. Full stop. The irritating problem is that some people simply can not sleep, no matter how hard they try.
I’m 58 and my mom had Dementia for 10 years before she passed last month. I’m trying to eat better so I can prevent this disease.

Thanks
Thank you
I wonder if letting AI do your thinking instead of using your brain is also contributing to dementia.
I’m doomed for sure then. I hardly ever get more than two hrs or less of sleep, don’t exercise, don’t get out in the sun, don’t eat a ketogenic diet, and don’t take niacin. 😢
Just type it yourself. Is that too hard?
Thank you for your consistency 🙏🏾
Hi Doc
May you please make an in-depth video, explaining how sugar diabetes effects dementia.
He made such videos. Possibly easier to find on his website / Rumble.
My grandmother actually just passed from this disease. I do recall when she couldn’t drive anymore because she had a tough time seeing at night. She was independent all the way up until the age of 69.
My mom has had dementia for awhile. She didn’t drink or smoke. She was outside a lot. had no problems with her eyes or teeth. She wasn’t overweight. She slept fine. Stayed active. No heart or brain issues. Sometimes I don’t think there’s an explanation for it.😢
That’s so sad. Actually, I think there are numerous factors that can contribute to it – more than listed here. One of the scariest things is the inflammation from seed oils for example. Blessings to you and your mother. 🙏🙌💫
@lilyrose4191 she’s also the only one in her family to get it. And her family is very unhealthy. I’m stumped. But I do worry for myself and siblings.
@@lilyrose4191I agree. Maybe she should take Omaha 3s. Epa dha to help

Great video Dr. Berg. Mom had dementia. My greatest fear was I would too. Healthy food, exercise, and sleep are my priorities. Living an active life at 77 in Argentina. I begin my day watching your videos.
Love, love, love your videos.

Obsessive consumption of exotic vitamins and food supplements.
Here is a tip for those with a parent who suffers this and is in a care home. Visit often, participate in their care, get to know the staff and dont keep changing care homes. The change in environment will cause them decline. Check their nails, feet and skin while you visit. Are they clean? Care homes can be snake pits but they can also be a loving, family environment.
Get them out of care homes and provide them shelter with you! Americans throw their parents out so often. It’s sickening and disgusting and shameful
I totally agree with your advice! Visiting often and maintaining a stable living environment are truly important for the mental health of elderly individuals. Your suggestions about checking small details like nails, feet, and skin are also very helpful to ensure they’re being well cared for. If you have any other practical tips or specific ways to build good relationships with the staff at care homes, I’d love to hear more!
@@mward5118 Yes it is not ideal but you need to understand the level of care needed. Do you have time to quit your job, live off welfare or maybe a stipend for being a carer while toileting your loved one every two hours, or feeding them three to six times a day? Sorry, but we dont have that kind of family structure or support anymore.
Well said! I worked in Alzheimer’s care all my life and these things may seem small but they are vital!
@@mward5118
Unfortunately, it’s a truth that sometimes they will get better care in a care home, not because of any failure of the family, but that they are just not trained and physically able to do that kind of care.
And some of them may still be having to go to work everyday. And if they are seniors looking after an older senior family member, often they have physical impairments that prevent them from bringing them to the home!
If one has the funds or the insurance coverage (and I don’t imagine that’s covered in the US healthcare system), one can keep them at home by having trained staff and medical personnel come to the home.
Im retired now but used to work as a carer in the community visiting people in their homes that needed assistance with bathing, cooking meals, cleaning etc. I could always tell by their eyes if they were at the beginning of dementia before any symptoms were really noticed. I dont know what it is that i see but now the doc has said this about eyes there is definately a connection.
From Türkiye, humanity owes you a great debt Dr. Berg. Please send our best wishes to your wife and family 🤍
My father in law has Alzheimer’s. He is 75 years old now. He cannot find the bathroom. If we are not watching he urinates in the balcony thinking it to be a toilet. He was a very hygienic person & now he doesn’t even understand whether he has taken a bath or not. He has to be given a bath literally like a small child. When he wants to go to the toilet he takes a lot of time to take off his pants & there is poop all over the toilet. He rambles on illogical things…feels sleepy all the time but stays wide awake at night. He cannot recognise old friends anymore. He pretends to but we can understand. His conversation is devoid of logic. Years ago he was a successful administrative officer, very sharp, very witty & with almost photographic memory. I…never ever even in my wildest imagination thought that he would be affected with something so terrible… Alzheimer’s.
Such a difficult journey lies ahead…. My father-in-law also had Alzheimer’s….. it is so devastating! All the best to you and your family!!
@marindacoetzee6760
Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m so sorry he and his family are having to endure this horrible disease.

I am reading Dr. Dale Bredesen’s book on Alzheimer’s with some hope…an attempt on my part to help my father-in-law.
@@luannestrickland4199
Yes, it is a difficult time for all of us…we are putting in our best efforts to help him.
I’m so impressed by the quality of this video. I’ll make sure to share it with others who need this information. Thank you for your amazing contribution to health awareness! 🌻
The introduction of statins and the rise in Alzheimers also super processed food and sugar also lack of physical exercise …👍
I’m 16 days sober from alcohol, at 28, I felt 90 most days.
