As promised in my last column, here are the daily
practices that I have used to reverse early
Alzheimer?s. I continue to practice these action steps
to keep the Alzheimer?s gene I inherited in the ?off?
position. To make them into habits, start with just 2 of
these practices 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Then add 2
more for another 3 weeks and continue adding 2
every 3 weeks until you are practicing all the ones
you feel are right for you. Use sticky notes as re-
minders.
1. Cut way down on sugar. Some scientists are call-
ing Alzheimer?s: Diabetes Type 3. Aim to limit sugar to
15 to 20 grams a day. Read the labels of everything
for the sugar content. Too much sugar screws up the
brain and suppresses the immune system, among
many other ghastly things. I don?t count the sugar in
fresh fruit.
2. Dry brush your skin. This not only removes dead
skin cells; more importantly, it reduces stress (which
also screws up the brain) and helps your lymphatic
filtration system release toxins. Get a good body
brush with natural bristles ? one with a long handle
because you?ll probably be doing this yourself (a
lover might get distracted.) Always brush towards
your heart.
3. Drink hal f your body weight in ounces of wat er.
And change your diet. Eat more veggies and non-
farmed fish. Cut down on simple carbs, like white
bread, white rice, white pasta, potatoes and desserts.
4. Observe your t hought s. When your mind chews
on something over and over, it can actually change
the structure of your brain. The best time to practice
observing your thoughts is when you?re brushing
your teeth since you don?t need your conscious mind
to brush your teeth ? it?s all muscle memory. Write on
a sticky note: What am I thinking right now? and put it
by your sink.
5. Rel ease t oxic emot ions. Negative thoughts and
emotions can get stuck in your physical cellular en-
ergy system and prevent you from experiencing joy.
Learn to release these blocks to good mental health
with this technique: feel the negative emotion as
strongly as you can, then drop the story. When the
story creeps back in, feel the emotion as strongly as
you can, then drop the story. Continue until you can
actually feel the release of the negative charge. Skip
this one on days that you?re feeling happy.
6. Writ e an af f irmat ion seven t imes. Compose a
short, positive statement like, ?My mind is clear and
sharp.? Write it four times with your dominant hand,
twice with your non-dominant hand and once more
with your dominant hand. Before you go to sleep,
review what you?re grateful for.
7. Do t he Tibet an Rit es of Rejuvenat ion. These
miraculous, ancient physical movements are highly
effective for rejuvenating your brain and your body.
Go to my website www.ellenwoodspeaks.com and
click on the third video to see how to perform these
Rites. Skip this one if it?s too difficult.
8. Get your body moving. Practice quick-burst, high
intensity exercises called interval training exercises
to pump up your heart and brain. Or take a brisk walk.
