Alzheimers Prevention A 4 Pillar Approach
Is Alzheimers Prevention possible through Integrative practices like meditation? It appears so.
A recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease showed that meditation improved cognition in people with memory loss. It also increased brain activity in areas central to memory.
As people age the risk of Alzheimer's increases. Currently, about 5 million people are estimated to suffer from the disease. Estimates point to an increase of Alzheimer's by 400 percent as our population ages.
Alzheimers prevention practices are what we need now to minimize this risk to an aging population.
Brain Longevity
Dr Khalsa speaks of brain longevity and the idea that we can prevent the loss of memory and actually improve our memory with age. It is NOT a given that we all need to suffer memory impairment just because of age.
There currently is no magic-bullet pill to prevent or reverse dementia. And according to Dr. D.S. Khalsa, we need to apply integrative prevention and treatment programs. An integrated approach is one combining certain medications with dietary supplementation, nutritional, therapy, physical and mental exercise, stress management and mind-body therapy.
According to Dr. D.S. Khalsa, Director of the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation, this is the first study to investigate the potential to reverse memory loss and prevent dementia through the practice of meditation.
The practice Dr.Khalsa has used in his studies is called Kirtan Kriya from the Kundalini Yoga tradition.
Participants did a simple 12 minute meditation every day for 8 weeks. Results showed improved cognition and increased blood flow in the brains of people with memory loss.
