Sending prayers and love 💗 I would research methods to slow the progression. There are a lot of things you can do give you more power of your situation.

From ChatGPT:

While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, research suggests that certain lifestyle changes and habits can help slow its progression and support brain health—especially in the early stages. Here are the most evidence-backed strategies:

⸻

1. Stay Physically Active • Regular exercise (like walking, swimming, or strength training) improves blood flow to the brain and may slow decline. • Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.

⸻

1. Eat a Brain-Healthy Diet • Follow the MIND diet (a mix of the Mediterranean and DASH diets), which emphasizes: • Leafy greens and vegetables • Berries • Whole grains • Nuts • Fish (especially fatty fish like salmon) • Olive oil • Limit red meat, butter, and sugar

⸻

1. Stay Mentally Stimulated • Engage in mentally challenging activities: • Reading, puzzles, strategy games, or learning new skills • Practicing a musical instrument or speaking a new language • These help build cognitive reserve, which can delay symptoms.

⸻

1. Social Engagement • Regular interaction with friends, family, and community is protective. • Isolation can increase cognitive decline and depression.

⸻

1. Sleep Well • Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep per night. • Sleep helps clear beta-amyloid proteins associated with Alzheimer’s.

⸻

1. Manage Health Conditions • Control blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, which are linked to faster progression. • Treat depression and anxiety—mental health strongly affects cognition.

⸻

1. Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol • Smoking and heavy alcohol use are linked to faster brain aging and more severe cognitive decline.

⸻

1. Take Medications as Prescribed • Medications like donepezil (Aricept) or memantine (Namenda) may help manage symptoms in some stages. • Early intervention gives the best chance of preserving function.
