The Metabolic Root of Alzheimer’s: Rethinking Dementia as Type 3 Diabetes

by with No Comment Blog

Could Alzheimer’s be a preventable, treatable condition caused by something as common as insulin resistance? This powerful new article explores the emerging view of Alzheimer’s as Type 3 Diabetes—a metabolic disorder where the brain is starved of energy despite being flooded with glucose. For caregivers, seniors, and families affected by dementia, this could be the hope we’ve been waiting for: real prevention strategies that start with the food we eat and the habits we build today.

How Food Labels and Dietary Guidelines Fuel Insulin Resistance

As caregivers, we do our best to make the healthiest choices for our loved ones and ourselves. But what happens when the very labels we trust — “sugar-free,” “heart-healthy,” “low-fat” — are leading us down a path of worsening insulin resistance and cognitive decline? This eye-opening article explores the hidden dangers of modern food labeling and how they contribute to conditions like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and obesity — reminding us that protecting memory and metabolic health starts with knowing what’s really in our food.

Healthy Life Expectancy: Trends, Factors, and the Role of Modern Lifestyles & Medicine

by Blog

Life expectancy, a commonly used measure of population health, refers to the average number of years individuals in a population are expected to live, based on current mortality rates. It provides a snapshot of how long people are likely to survive but doesn’t account for the quality of those years. This is where Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE) becomes crucial. HALE estimates the number of years a person can expect to live in good health, free from disabling diseases or chronic conditions that impede their ability to function​​.

Unlike life expectancy, which focuses solely on longevity, HALE offers a more nuanced perspective, combining both mortality and morbidity data. It highlights the gap between living longer and living healthier, drawing attention to the importance of not just extending life but also ensuring those extra years are lived with a high quality of life. In this sense, HALE is a more comprehensive measure because it emphasizes the years lived in good health, providing a clearer view of the overall well-being of a population​​.
