Did you know the risk of Alzheimer’s increases by 75-98% by holding onto negative thoughts?

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a new book out today called Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess to teach people that managing toxic thoughts can save their life.

Dr. Leaf explains that the proteins the make up our brain and memories are damaged by inflammation due to our bodies fighting the harm being caused by negative thoughts which leads to an increased vulnerability to dementia and Alzheimer’s of up to 98%. 

If you’re not mind managing, everything you do is reactive. Messy mind, messy body, messy life. The good news is this damage is reversible if caught soon enough by cultivating positive thinking.
