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.

Why can I not sleep? 

I have asked my self this question over and over since my accident in May of 2011.  

After the onset of the accident and the physical pain that ensued, I found myself totally unable to find a comfortable position to sleep.  I lived on the family couch for just over a year and a half!  

I did not want to wake up my family as I struggled to sleep.  For much of the first year following the accident I slept less than a few hours a night and it would take all night to accumulate those hours.

The National Sleep Foundation states:

Some people with sleep problems and anxiety 

have post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.

 PTSD is a reaction to a traumatic stressful event 

resulting in a feeling of a loss of control and an 

inability to help yourself in a bad situation. 

It’s often experienced by people 

who are in situations that range 

from combat to rape, 

but it can be caused by a variety of events.

I will be honest: At the beginning, I spent hours and hours awake at night crying due to the lack of sleep, physical pain and emotional drain.....
