00:00:00
Being
00:00:01
deficient or insufficient in vitamin D
00:00:04
can increase dementia risk by 80%. The
00:00:07
converse is also true. So people that
00:00:09
supplement with vitamin D3 have a 40%
00:00:12
reduced risk of dementia. And there's
00:00:14
actually even been studies in people
00:00:15
with dementia and people with
00:00:17
Alzheimer's disease that were given a
00:00:18
vitamin D supplement or a placebo
00:00:21
control. And those individuals given the
00:00:23
vitamin D supplement had improved
00:00:25
cognition. They had um lower markers of
00:00:28
amalloid plaques. So those were this
00:00:30
will those were also measured as well.
00:00:32
So vitamin D is doing a lot of things.
00:00:34
It's it's regulating 5% of your protein
00:00:37
coding human genome.
00:00:39
>> If I want to increase my probability of
00:00:40
getting dementia then I've got to stay
00:00:42
out of the sun. I've got to avoid um
00:00:45
vitamin D. I've got to drink alcohol,
00:00:47
smoke, be sedentary, and I've got to
00:00:50
sleep really badly.
00:00:51
>> Yes. And eat a lot of refined sugar.
00:00:54
>> Yeah.
00:00:55
>> Yes. Yes. Exactly. Okay.
00:00:57
>> Exactly. Now, you might go, "Well, how
00:00:58
much vitamin D?" Right? I'm talking
00:01:00
about deficiency and insufficiency, and
00:01:02
you really want to get a blood test to
00:01:04
know what your levels are. IUs of
00:01:05
vitamin D per day. So, not and that's
00:01:09
been done that's been shown in multiple
00:01:10
studies. Not it's not it's not that hard
00:01:12
to take. In fact, vitamin D supplements
00:01:13
are probably the cheapest supplement out
00:01:15
there. It's like 10 cents per pill.
