Insulin resistance and dementia or Alzheimer's disease
No doubt about it, you have to take care of your blood sugar and insulin to prevent your brain from degenerating. Here are several papers published in prestigious journals that show the strong connection between insulin resistance and dementia or Alzheimer's disease:
- Insulin resistance and cognitive impairment in Archives of Neurology
- Hyperinsulinemia and risk of Alzheimer's disease in Neurology
- Insulin resistance and executive dysfunction in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
- Hyperinsulinemia and Alzheimer's disease in the journal Age and Ageing
- Body mass index, cardiovascular risk factors, and dementia in Archives of Internal Medicine
Testing your levels of hemoglobin A1C, glucose, insulin and triglycerides along with measuring your waist-to-hip ratio are among the ways we can see how you're doing.
