Inquire with Dr. Sanjey Gupta: What questions do you have regarding Alzheimer's risk reduction?
In a recent trial, certain individuals were part of Dr. Sanjay Gupta's documentary "The Last Alzheimer's Patient," airing now on MAX in conjunction with "The Whole Story With Anderson Cooper." They implemented modifications like adopting a vegan diet, performing daily aerobic exercise, practicing stress reduction techniques, and joining online support groups for a period of 20 weeks.
While some participants did not experience any improvement and dropped out, others experienced significant improvements. As one participant, Tammy Maida (age 67), stated to Gupta, "The ominous cloud of an Alzheimer's diagnosis gradually began to dissipate."
Gupta himself took a series of tests to gauge his brain's performance and assess his risk for Alzheimer's. As a result, he compiled a list of lifestyle changes he believes will lead to a prolonged, healthy life.
