Summary

A possible concise summary is:

The video is about the relationship between type 3 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, and how they are caused by high glucose levels in the brain. The speaker explains the mechanisms of glucose entry and damage to the nervous system, and also mentions other factors that can increase the risk of Alzheimer's, such as social isolation, poor sleep, physical inactivity, chemical sweeteners, and intestinal dysbiosis. The speaker urges the viewers to take care of their brain health and share the video with their loved ones.

Facts

Hi, this is Copilot. I'm here to help you extract the key facts out of this text. Here are some facts that I found:

- The text is a transcript of a video by Samuel, a doctor who talks about health, quality of life and well-being on YouTube.
- The video is about Alzheimer's disease and its relation to diabetes, insulin resistance, glucose spikes, intestinal dysbiosis and other factors.
- Alzheimer's disease is also called type 3 diabetes because it involves the same mechanism that generates diabetes: the degeneration of the myelin sheath that protects the nerve cells in the brain.
- Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, representing 55% of all cases in Brazil, where Samuel is from.
- Alzheimer's disease is very associated with age, and the risk increases by 50% every five years after 60 years of age.
- Alzheimer's disease is caused by bad habits such as eating foods with high glycemic index, using chemical sweeteners like aspartame, being socially isolated, sleeping poorly and being sedentary.
- Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the formation of a protein in the brain called beta-amyloid tissue, which may be related to autoimmune diseases and intestinal hyperpermeability.
- Alzheimer's disease affects the memory and cognition of the patients, making them forget their names, faces, relatives and friends.
