We’ve long known that high blood pressure contributes to the risk of Alzheimer’s and other
types of dementia.
But a new study published in the
journal Circulation reveals that fluctuating blood pressure is more dangerous than any other.
And it’s the one most people pay no
attention to.
In fact, fluctuating blood pressure can raise your risk of dementia a scary 300%!
The good news is that you can reverse or
stop fluctuating blood pressure —if you act quickly.
Japanese researchers recruited 1,674
participants, averaging 71 years old, to measure their blood pressure three times per day for 28 days.
They divided the participants into
groups based on the amount their average blood pressure fluctuated throughout the day. Researchers then followed
them for a period of five years to see which would develop dementia.
None of the participants suffered any
form of dementia at the beginning of the study. But during this period, 194 developed
dementia: 134 from Alzheimer’s disease, 47 from vascular dementia, and the rest
from mixed types.
Compared to those with the lowest fluctuating
blood pressure, those with the highest were more than twice as likely to
develop Alzheimer’s disease and approximately three times more likely to show
symptoms of vascular dementia.
This was true for fluctuations of both
systolic and diastolic pressure.
Why does fluctuating blood pressure affect
brain health so much?
You see, when your blood pressure is so uneven, oxygen delivery to the brain becomes uneven
and parts of it starve for oxygen throughout the day.
Interestingly, our Brain Booster
Exercises are specifically focused on this issue—to deliver enough oxygen to
your brain. People, even those beginning to experience dementia, have reported
amazing results from using these simple brain booster exercises.
