Hi all, I'm Doctor Cody, a demo with my medical school minute about some interesting things I've learned as a medical student and now a psychiatry resident at the Upstate Northern College of Medicine.

A key factor that plays a role in developing Alzheimer's disease is how much sugar we consume.

So much so that some experts are now calling Alzheimer's type three diabetes.

Where is this coming from?

Research compare people who ate primarily protein or primarily fat or primarily carbohydrates, and those who got mos of their calories from protein had a 21% less risk of developing Alzheimer's.

And people who ate lots of fat, dairy, fish, avocado, etc.

had a 42% less risk.

And people who ate a high carb diet like pasta, fried sugary drinks, desserts had a 400% increase risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Now, this research was correlational and not definitive by itself, but other research support these findings.

And of course, diabetes is all about blood sugar levels and is linked to developing Alzheimer's.

So putting two and two together in this cas adds up to type three diabetes.

Now, information is power to give our brains a fighting chance.

Let's be mindful of what we eat.

Have yearly physicals, take diabetes medications if we have to exercise, get good sleep, increase our fiber intake, all of which can protect our vital brain infrastructure against Alzheimer's and likely hel us hold onto our dear memories, independence, and identities for as long as we can.

Because really, who are we without them?

I'm doctor calling a demo fro the Northern College of Medicine and this was my medical school.

It.
