Hearing Loss Could Pose Greater Risk of Potential Dementia in Later Life — Study

July 17, 2017

New research presented at an international conference shows that people with hearing loss could be at a greater risk of both mild cognitive impairment as well as Alzheimer’s disease later in life, The Guardian reports. While researchers cautioned that more studies need to be done on whether treating hearing loss could prevent dementia, other research at the conference showed a link between diet and memory and thinking tasks, with eating healthy linked to a lower risk of cognitive difficulties, and an even lower risk of dementia.

This is exciting because earlier research has already shown that a diet that increases inflammation, such as one that includes high amounts of wheat, refined carbs and sugar is one of the root causes and greatest risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. However, diet is also a foundational prevention and treatment strategy, and is best approached from a holistic perspective.

In this respect, becoming an efficient fat burner not only helps prevent Alzheimer's but also Parkinson's, coronary artery disease, diabetes, cancer and other chronic health conditions. To shift your body into fat-burning mode, you need to dramatically reduce your net carbs, as your body will typically use whatever glucose is available first.

In my new book, "Fat for Fuel," I recommend feast-famine cycling. By periodically pulsing higher carb intakes, consuming say 100 or 150 grams of carbs, opposed to 40 to 60 grams per day, your ketone levels will actually dramatically increase and your blood sugar will drop. Besides a ketogenic diet, lifestyle factors that come into play include exercise, sleep, stress reduction, sun exposure and social interaction.
