Coffee and cannabis are both rich sources of antioxidants it's worth diving in and researching as much information on it as you can, especially when discussing it with the medical professionals involved in your case.

The body has other secondary or peripheral circadian clocks, located in various organs, but all are influenced by the central circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. There are also other secondary or peripheral biological clocks throughout the body, such as in the liver, heart, pancreas, kidneys, lungs, intestines, and even in the skin and lymphocytes, all of which show natural daily oscillations.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a degenerative brain disease that kills brain cells. Though it has been linked to brain trauma and certain proteins in the brain, little is known about this disease. CTE is thought to be caused by repetitive brain trauma.

Unlike other forms of aphasia that result from stroke or brain injury, PPA is caused by neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers Disease or Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration.

PCA patients are often initially misdiagnosed with an anxiety disorder or depression.

Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and also has anti-inflammatory properties that might play a role in the prevention of Alzheimers.

Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced interactions with surroundings.  Alzheimers disease is not a normal part of aging but the risk of developing it goes up with age.

Many Americans dismiss the warning signs of Alzheimers, believing that these symptoms are a normal part of aging. This is of even greater concern for African-Americans, who are two times more likely to develop late-onset Alzheimers disease than whites and less likely to have a diagnosis of their condition, resulting in less time for treatment and planning. By working together, we hope to reduce the risk factors and reverse the growing trend of Alzheimers disease among African-Americans.

Someone in the world develops dementia every 3 seconds. There were an estimated 46.8 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2015 and this number is believed to be close to 50 million people in 2017. This number will almost double every 20 years, reaching 75 million in 2030 and 131.5 million in 2050.

Cannabinoids may have more specific effects in Alzheimers disease pathology, as they can reduce excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. 

Social isolation is a major health problem for older adults living in the community, leading to numerous detrimental health conditions. Social isolation is defined as "a state in which the individual lacks a sense of belonging socially, lacks engagement with others, has a minimal number of social contacts and they are deficient in fulfilling and quality relationships"

The emotional response that people get from listening to music, and the brain chemicals associated with pleasure that get released in the process, are distinct from the structural changes in the brain.

In the next three minutes, three people will develop Alzheimers disease. Two of them will be women. Perhaps in the next decade it will become the norm for middle aged women to receive preventive testing and treatment for Alzheimers disease,  just as they get mammograms today. In the meantime, research shows that diet can alleviate and mitigate the effects of menopause in women which could minimize the risk of Alzheimers.

 Herbal medicines are one type of dietary supplement. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, teas, extracts, and fresh or dried plants. People use herbal medicines to try to maintain or improve their health. Many people believe that products labeled "natural" are always safe and good for them.
