I'm not a doctor, just a person who also has Alzheimer's in his family, so I've thought and read a lot about it. My recipe is basically:
Sleep enough, exercise (especially outside), eat right, make sure your brain is active and engaged on a regular basis (read real books, challenge yourself by getting out of your intellectual comfort zone). Studies show that coffee is good for Alzheimer's, so as long as you're not using it to stay awake when you need sleep, it's probably fine.
- Darkphibre 6y agoIs it coffee? Or is it caffeine (i.e. tea, etc.)? I consume around 500-1000mg of caffeine a day (very carefully timed so as not to get jitters). I can't handle a higher dose of Adderall XR, so I've embraced my higher caffeine intakes as a way to soothe the mind. That said, I don't care for the flavor of coffee, so I typically consume it via Red Bull/5hr/tablet form.
- kgin 6y agoThis is a separate in-vitro study that seems to suggest it's not the caffeine that is helping https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2018.00735/full https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2018.0073...
