Viagra Can Help Prevent Alzheimer's

Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Mike Roizen, M.D. By Thursday, 14 March 2024 11:46 AM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

Recent headlines declared that a study of 670,000 men showed that the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra cut the risk of Alzheimer's disease by around 18%.

That followed a 2021 study in the journal Nature Aging from Dr. Mike's Cleveland Clinic that found taking Viagra blocked the attachment of Alzheimer’s-associated amyloid and tau proteins to neurons (brain cells), and was associated with a 69% reduced risk of Alzheimer's in men.

The reduced dose of the drug that some women take for pulmonary hypertension was associated with a 22% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s.

Fortunately, you don’t have to be a guy struggling with ED or a woman struggling with pulmonary hypertension to get the cognitive benefits that come from increased blood flow throughout your body and brain, which is another beneficial effect of taking Viagra.

Improving your blood pressure, reducing your bad LDL cholesterol to a healthy level, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking (anything), getting plenty of physical activity and enough quality sleep, and eating a plant-based diet while cutting out red meat, highly processed foods, added sugars, syrups, and saturated fats can help prevent constricted blood vessels and protect your brain, whether you're a guy or gal, young or old.

Whatever the beneficial effect or effects of the active ingredient in Viagra are, you can get some of them today, drug-free, by following the age-reversing, life-extending suggestions at LongevityPlaybook.com.
