🧠 Preventing Dementia Starts with Insulin Sensitivity
When our brain can’t use glucose:
⚡️ Synapses weaken
🔥 Oxidative stress rises
⚡️ Amyloid & tau build up → ↑ Alzheimer’s risk
We can protect ourselves with daily choices:
✅ Regular exercise
– Aerobic: brisk walking, swimming, cycling ≥150 min/week
– Add resistance training to build muscle
✅ Healthy diet
– Limit sugar, sweets, soda
– Focus on whole grains, vegetables, fruits, fish/plant protein, healthy fats (Mediterranean/DASH)
✅ Quality sleep (7–9 hrs/night)
✅ Stress management
– Mindfulness, meditation, relaxation
✅ Annual health check
– Fasting glucose, HbA1c (screen prediabetes/diabetes)
🌿 Taking care of metabolism = protecting brain health
✨ Wellness + sats = true wealth
