This Can Reduce Your Risk Of Alzheimer's Disease...
Dear Reader,
Good news... new research finds that heart healthy HDL (good) cholesterol may also offer protection to the brain from dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The work appears in the Archives of Neurology and suggests a link between heart disease and dementia.
If this finding is backed by added research, experts think it might indicate that we can reduce the risk of both brain and heart problems by working to raise good cholesterol.
Your doctor will tell you that cholesterol is a natural part of the body, a soft, waxy substance that's found the fats in your bloodstream and in all body cells. It's used to form cell membranes, to create some hormones and for other important body functions.
Your body makes about 75% (can be more depending on your family history) of its cholesterol on its own, the rest comes from the animal products you eat.
The relationship between HDL and Alzheimer's hasn't been all that easy to pin down. Some work has found an association, while other studies have not.
The latest research follows subjects for a longer period of time than any of the earlier work, and this gives a more accurate picture in terms of who ends up with Alzheimer's disease.
For this latest study, researchers at Columbia University followed 1,130 seniors who had no history of dementia or memory problems. Every 18 months for an average of 4 years, the subjects underwent a battery of blood, brain and memory tests.
By the end of the research, doctors had diagnosed 101 cases of Alzheimer's disease. When the team compared the cholesterol levels of participants with and without Alzheimer's, they found those with the higher HDL counts (55 mg/dL) had about a 60% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's compared to those with the lowest numbers (under 39 mg/dL).
Lead researcher Christiane Reitz, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of neurology at Columbia University's Taub Institute, and her team also saw that subjects with high LDL (bad) cholesterol and high total cholesterol numbers had a lower risk of developing dementia, but when they considered other problems known to increase the risk of Alzheimer's (diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, genetic predisposition), LDL and total cholesterol were no longer significant predictors by themselves.
HDL cholesterol is one of the major carriers of protein to the brain according to Lenore Launer, PhD. of the National Institute on Aging. In 2001, Launer published work in the journal Neurology that came to the opposite conclusion of the most recent Columbia research. She saw that Japanese-American men with higher HDL numbers were more likely to have Alzheimer's related plaques and tangles in their brain.
Until the research is giving consistent results in terms of HDL numbers, no one is going to recommend any levels of HDL for most people.

This Can Reduce Your Risk Of Alzheimer's Disease... Continued...
But it is important to understand that higher levels of HDL have been shown to
be protective to the heart, so for this reason alone the brain would benefit.
Many doctors believe that if you get those cholesterol numbers under control
by making diet and lifestyle changes (or taking medication if needed), you'll
do both vital organs a lot of good.
Guidelines recommend that men get their HDL levels over 40 mg/dL and women increase
numbers to over 50 mg/dL. An HDL level of 60 mg/dL (or even higher) is the optimal
level experts would like to see. If you haven't been tested, or it's been a while,
have a cholesterol test to see where you stand.
To your good health,
