Have you tried green tea?

I guess, tho I see a lot of people complaining about the side effects.

I remember studies saying that one of the best ways to prevent dementia later in life is to get enough exercise when you're young.

yeah, didn't really do any exercise until 3-4 years ago, when my body just started giving up on the most normal activities. I will continue exercising tho. It feels too good to give up.

>So I have a really high chance of getting Alzheimers, Parkinson's, Dementia and brain degenerative diseases in general.

Why?

That sounds like a bag of shit anon. You can have an increased risk for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and even other forms of dementia but as far as I know there's no common risk factor for all of them. And don't say genetic testing, other than Huntinghton's disease it's still unvalidated in clinical practice.

Honestly you're probably just the anxious type and the fact you're a musician supports this.

Caffeine is debatable but as you said some studies have shown that it can decrease the risk of Alzheimer's. I've never read the actual protocols so those studies might be full of shit. What does work, as anon said >>18354396, is sports and controling your cardiovascular risks factors (not smoking, good cholesterol / blood pressure levels, etc).

Godspeed anxious musician !

>your parents told you.

As in their parents had it? As in it runs strong in your family?

Or the doctors told them something was wrong with you and youre gonna get it young?

If its the first one, i honestly wouldnt even worry about it. Medical technology will have you covered by the time youre senior. Were making incredible leaps and discoveries in this kind of thing and many other amazing technologies and treatments are coming out.

By the time youre old theyll likely be able to reverse it. As it is now they can already change out your genetics (not available for public use yet) and that alone would be able to change out things like alzheimers or parkinsons.

Also got some psych educations. Learn another language. That will stave off alzheimers. Seriously

Great grandpa had Parkinson's, Grandpa had Alzheimer's and Dementia and Mom is starting to develop Alzheimers. Yeah, I guess I'm kind of anxious but I'm not a musician anymore, my fingers look like a crooked fence, tho thanks for the encouragement.

Yes very prolific in my moms side of the family. Doctors told me it would be a good idea to drink coffee, tho I don't really trust them anymore after the shit job they did on my tendonitis.
I do hope so, tho living in Bulgaria I know that medical technology is at least 20 years slower than US (doctors here don't know stem cells exist). Tho I do try to exercise as much as I can, I just have a lot of joint and tendon issues and currently I can only go swimming which is kind of expensive in my country and I don't have the money right now.
Always wanted to learn another language, but I want to finish my sound engineering degree first.

Oh so i guess you do know two languages at least already.

Good start.

That still leaves 7 out of 8 of your great grandparents who didn't have it, 3/4 of your grandparents and your father. Also, it's harder that you might think to correctly diagnose those things. Alzheimer's has been abused as a diagnosis : often people were just alcoholics who fried their brain with alcohol, had depression, even deafness.

Don't panic : take care of your body, learn languages, get a college degree. Those things will protect you the most and your risk isn't necessarily higher than that of the general population.

dont fucking do that you tard. Read the study: no coffee and MORE than 3-4 cups a day show more cases of dementia than those who only drank on or two cups

Well thanks guys, I think you gave some good /adv/ice. Gonna go and exercise or something now.
