One of the questions we ask ourselves is whether our lifestyle changes make a difference, and if so, what the best interventions are. These studies below shed some light. This first study found that long-term exposure to residential greenness is linked to a decreased risk of depression and anxiety and that reduced air pollution was a significant factor. There is increasing evidence that air pollution negatively affects mental health and is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the second study interesting because it suggests that even with genetic risk factors, lifestyle changes could prevent depression. The third study was a small study (N=51) exploring whether intensive lifestyle change over 20 weeks can improve early-stage cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. The study was conducted by Dean Ornish, who is well-known for advancing plant-based medicine for cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know, what occurs in the heart occurs in the brain. This study found that some cognitive scores and the A\u03b242\/40 ratio improved. The a\u03b242\/40 ratio is a biomarker of amyloid plaque in Alzheimer’s. In contrast to the previous multivitamin research I reviewed, this research used high-quality and appropriately dosed vitamins and fungi like Lions Mane. The findings showed that in the intervention group, some improved, some were unchanged, and some worsened. Higher adherence to the \u00ablifestyle plan\u00bb resulted in more improvement, though not always. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also wonder if enrolling participants between the ages of 45 and 65 with cognitive decline\/AD brings into the equation the rare early-life Alzheimer’s disease, which is genetically driven. If the mechanism for this is different, the response to lifestyle changes may also be, but the study did not address this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study is worth reading through to understand the challenges of conducting this type of research. While I am not a fan of a vegan diet in the long term\u2014rich in carbs and low in fat and protein\u2014there may be times when short-term adherence catalyzes change and shakes up those amyloid deposits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
