Fighting Alzheimer's Disease in your 20's-50's

Are you using Benadryl, Tylenol PM or other over the counter medications? 

 You are most likely increasing your chances of Alzheimer's Disease later in your life! 

The UCSF Memory and Aging Center in California reports:

.......medications with anticholinergic activity should be avoided where possible (examples: Benadryl, Cogentin, Tylenol PM, Ditropan). Ask your pharmacist which medications have significant anticholinergic activity......

We use Benadryl for allergies,  Tylenol PM for  pain and sleep management.  But are you really aware that these very products are significantly altering your brain in a way that Alzheimer's Disease will probably be something you will personally deal with?!

Healthy Aging

 

While physical exercise is the only thing proven to increase the cells in your brain, a healthy lifestyle that incorporates physical exercise, rest, a healthy diet, social connections and a variety of activities that challenge and interest you can all help maintain your health late into your years.
