Here’s an Alzheimer’s trigger that may surprise you:

Negative thinking! Especially pessimistic thoughts about aging - like “It’s all downhill after 40” or “no one will care about me when I’m old.” A recent study from Yale University found that pessimistic people were significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than optimistic people… because negative thoughts are linked to higher levels of STRESS, which triggers brain changes that cause Alzheimer’s. It’s why researchers recommend focusing on the benefits of aging… Like how it makes us wiser, and gives us access to lots of major senior discounts!Follow me on Facebook
