With June being Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness month, doctors and researchers of the AHEAD study are urging people to be conscious about their health and their loved ones.
Doctor Josh Grill, a University of California Irvine professor, shares tips to improve and become mindful of your brain health.
He said taking part in physical exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting a good night’s sleep and keeping up a healthy heart are all important to caring for your brain. Dr. Grill said taking steps are beneficial for everyone. However, he unfortunately adds that for some who do everything right when it comes to brain health, they can still be at risk as they get older.“As a society we need to better at creating a dementia friendly society,” Dr. Grill said.
Dr. Grill explains that the AHEAD study aims to prevent Alzheimer’s disease by trying to change how the disease is treated and how people think about it. He said the goal is to intervene at the earliest possible stages before the memory problems even begin. To be in the AHEAD study, Dr. Grill said the person must undergo tests beginning with the blood tests and a brain scan that tries to detect if the changes in the brain of Alzheimer’s may have begun. Only if those changes are observed in the brain if a person is an increased risk of a someday memory problem, are they eligible to be in the AHEAD study.
