Want To Beat Alzheimers? Here's a way that costs nothing...

It seems that latest research suggests that a good upending at regular intervals may slow the possibility of Alzheimers' Disease. This report tells me that if I stand on my head regularly, that's what will happen.

Blood flowing through the brain may affect the way nerves transmit signals to other parts of the body, and if this is proved to be true, scientists says it could be used to treat brain diseases including Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and epilepsy.

According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, blood may actually influence nerve function and help to regulate information passing through the brain.

Other studies have shown that changes in blood flow affect the activity of nearby neurons, altering how they transmit signals to each other.


So there y'go. I am writing this standing on my head.

And while we are on the subject, this report says that smarter people will lose memory faster with Alzheimers'.


That does it. a tropical island WITHOUT internet access!
