Chanting could reduce risk of Alzheimer’s

By -
Recently scientists at MIT, USA have discovered that exposing mice to 40 hertz light signals and sound waves remove the plaques in their brain. These plaques are the cause of Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases that reduce our memories.

When the brain is under deep meditation or concentration, gamma waves are produced. These waves range anywhere from 25-100 hertz but have an average frequency of 40 hertz. A large number of studies on meditating yogis’ brains have revealed that these waves are produced under deep meditation and concentration. On the other hand, deep sleep produces delta and alpha waves that vary from 4-12 hertz.

Neurons and Memory

Alzheimer’s disease is a disease of brain where clumps of misfolded protein fragments called amyloid-beta produce plaques around synapses – the connecting point between neurons. These plaques stop neurons from communicating, thus destroying memory. Nobody knows how these plaques are formed and world over research is being conducted on how to remove them. As the world’s population is ageing, more research is being carried out on Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases that affect mostly the elderly population.

Ancient Indian system of meditation and chanting Sanskrit shlokas and hymns may provide a possible solution for reducing risk of Alzheimer’s.

There is mounting evidence that herpes leads to Alzheimers Disease

More than 30 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease – the most common form of dementia. Unfortunately, there is no cure, only drugs to ease the symptoms. However, my own research suggests a way to treat the disease. I have found the strongest evidence yet that the herpes virus is a cause of Alzheimer’s, suggesting that effective and safe antiviral drugs might be able to treat the disease. We might even be able to vaccinate our children against it. The virus implicated in Alzheimer’s disease , herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), is better known for causing cold sores. It infects most people in infancy and then remains dormant in the peripheral nervous system (the part of the nervous system that isn’t the brain and the spinal cord). Occasionally, if a person is stressed, the virus becomes activated and, in some people, it causes cold sores. The virus can become active in the brain, perhaps repeatedly, and this probably causes cumulative damage. The likel

# Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. # Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important # mental functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms. No cure exists, but #medication and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms. Although there’s no # cure , there are things you can do to help prevent, delay, or slow down Alzheimer’s disease and # dementia . Exercising regularly Getting a good night’s sleep Being MIND-ful about your diet Stress management Socializing Learning new things Lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol Losing weight Brushing and flossing Playing brain games Taking nutritional supplements Protecting your noggin Keeping your gut microbiome healthy Taking medications All of the above Know more at: https://alzheimers-dementia.pulsusconferenc
