5 Dangerous Signs Your Brain Is Building Deadly Plaque

Understanding the Secrets of Vaginal pH: The Key to Your Queendom Picture your vagina as a castle with its own self-regulating system that safeguards your intimate health.

At the heart of this system lies the delicate balance of vaginal pH—a key element in maintaining overall well-being. Vaginal pH refers to the acidity or alkalinity of the vaginal environment, typically ranging from 3.8 to 4.5 on the pH scale. This slight acidity is your hidden weapon, fending off unwanted invaders and preserving the harmony of your vaginal ecosystem.

This lapse in language skills is one of the first ways your brain communicates with you…telling you that things aren’t as good as they should be. When this starts to happen, it could mean your brain health is headed in the wrong direction. (7)

One of the common things women nearing menopause complain about is their mood. I mean, who can blame us? We’ve been taking care of everyone and everything for decades — and now we’re tired. Heap on hormonal changes, increased financial responsibilities (hi there, college tuition expenses!), and the necessity to slip into caregiving roles…and sometimes it feels like you’ll never be cheerful again.

Sometimes, changes in mood can indicate more than just frustration. Sometimes, when your mood drops, it’s because there are changes happening to the levels of chemicals in your brain.

Changes in mood are one of the signs doctors look for when diagnosing dementia. (8)

So, like I just discussed — getting older, having lower levels of vital hormones, and just needing a break from it all can make you feel off when it comes to your mood.

But if you find yourself routinely feeling overwhelmed by decisions or simple tasks, it could be a sign you’re brain’s not feeling 100%.

When you feel easily agitated, especially if it’s accompanied by anger — it could be an early sign of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. (9)

But if you find yourself regularly forgetting to show up for things, it could be a sign your brain’s overloaded and not feeling its best.

In fact, memory loss is one of the first things people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia experience. (10)

Do you read the instructions for heating up that cauliflower crust pizza, then have to read them again a few times to get the information to “stick?”

Do you find yourself either forgetting what you just read, reading it over again a few times before it hits home, or losing key details of what you’re reading almost immediately after reading it?

What about the generally reduced ability to focus and concentrate on the task at hand? Or plan and execute tasks? These worrying signs can happen in the early stages of brain decline. (11,12,13)

Just because you’ve started to see the worrying symptoms of brain decline, it doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it!

In fact, I’d argue that NOW is the best time to start cleaning out that deadly plaque and polishing up your beautiful brain until it positively shines — before things get worse.

Because unfortunately, I’ve seen what happens when cognitive decline takes hold of a brain and won’t let go.
