As we start the new year, I wondered if we might share our current preventative approaches and strategies to hold off Alzheimer's?
What did you do well last year? What are you planning to change up this year? Any recommendations??
I watch the forum often for ideas and I LOVE learning what others are doing. Whether you post all the time -- or like me, you tend to lurk -- your N1 strategies are informative and helpful for all of us!
My 2020 Strategies:
- 1. Drinking silica water daily to chelate aluminum
- 2. Donating blood &/or platelets to lower ferritin levels (BONUS: this helps others which I feel great about:))
- 3. Fasting/adjusting diet to lower insulin resistance
- 4. Taking supplements 5-6x/week (a good goal for me!) & walking 1-2x/week
- 5. Memorizing scripture (working my brain in new ways:))

What about you? What are your strategies?
Any wins/losses? New approaches/goals? Best practices?
***I'm wide-open to thoughts on change-ups I might make, too! Most of my best research and practices have come from this group.***
Happy New Year!
