Judy Benjamin, PhD, is now 4 -year -old, Saturday, April 7, started a 5 -mile journey across the country on Saturday.
For five months, he will travel from San Diego to California to St Augustine in Florida.

“People are wondering why I will avoid myself,” Benjamin said during an on-camera interview with Fox News Digital in the evening before the start of his walk. “I would like to share with others in order to be not really discouraged.” (Watch the video on top of this piece))
“Life is here to enjoy, and a number of age, but you do not have to be identified and identified by that number.”

Benjamin was 67 when he first learned about Alzheimer’s disease early.
It was not surprising, because he came from the long line of relatives who were attacked in the form of dementia. His mother, one of the children, was 635, when he was diagnosed, and nine his uncle also received it.
“So obviously it was very scary to me,” Benjamin told the Fox News Digital with an on-camera interview in the evening before the start of his walk.

After his mother died, Benjamin-whose high pressure was at that time-began to get lax.
“I was working abroad and really started to be worried because I can’t remember things – even my own phone number or locker combination,” he remembered. “I lost the driving, when I am always good about direction” “

Benjamin also struggled to commemorate his grandchildren’s names and even had trouble reading a newspaper article.
“I knew it was going downhill very fast, and I was very frustrated and sad about it,” he remembered.
“Life is here to enjoy, and a number of age, but you do not have to be identified and identified by that number.”
The brain scans showed that Benjamin had a lot of amyloid blade, as well as some damage to the right and left parariatal region of his brain.
“I started to be really terrified,” he said.
‘Change my whole lifestyle’
A close friend recommended a doctor in California, Dr. Del Bredensen, who was doing some innovative research on treating Alzheimers.
“He explained his theory that Alzheimerma was not because of one thing – it was a variety of attacks on the brain, causing it to swell,” he said. “And he said that it was different for everyone. Some people are more affected by something than others.”

Bredsen worked to help reduce inflammation through several steps with benzamine.
“So I wrote what I wrote to his proposed and I was back home and I started implementing it in the letter – I changed my whole life,” he shared.
Some changes in these lifestyles are to favorable to his sleep, ensure healthy internal air, include meditation to reduce stress and start the practice routine.
Benjamin said of his new healthy way of life, “Following all the instructions to do what you need to do and not to be casual about it.” (Judy Benjamin)
“I have completely changed my diet,” Benjamin shared. “I stopped drinking diet soda, stopped eating sugar and started eating more food and natural foods – like vegetables and fruits.”

Slowly, he said, things began to change.
Researchers say
“It wasn’t overnight; it’s not a magic bullet,” he said. “But one day I realized that I could remember the names of my grandchildren again.”
After the first view of his new life’s positive effects, Benjamin was forced to help others. He eventually became a national board-affiliated health and well-being coach, specialized in brain health and neurological science.

Benjamin said he was walking longer to prepare for his 3,000 miles walk.
“I think you have no way of training to walk 3,000 miles without walking as much as you can,” he said. “I think walking is the most natural thing that a man can do. I mean, we were born on a walk.”
“I need to be careful to keep hydrated.”

Benjamin will join a “great support team” with his cross-tactry walks as well as a movie crew who will collect footage for a upcoming documentary.
“I have an RV with very comfortable beds, shower and cooking facilities,” he said. “Whenever possible, if there is a nice hotel or motel we will stop, but on long, remote stretches we will sleep on the RV.”

He is supported by a number of well -being sponsored, including Apollo Health and Caresout, who provided long -term care and aging solutions.
The goal is to shoot for 20 miles per day depending on the weather and the terrain.

“I will plan to stop one day a week to rest my body, probably to take a saon or just kick back,” he said.
“It’s too much to me as a person, but I am the people who come to join me and encourage me to go with me.”

“I’m very strong and healthy – I have great flexibility and I have confidence that I will be healthy,” she told Fox News Digital.

“Anything that can happen – I’m very aware of that, but all my numbers are great. My blood work, my bone studying, everything is so good that I’m not really worried. I don’t spend much time in the negative case.”
Benjamin hopes that his walk will serve as a healthy, more active lifestyle for others for better brain activities.
“I want people to see without considering your age or situation, there are steps that you can take for a healthy, more lively life.”
“When I got my diagnosis, I had a choice – I could let it define it, or I could take action,” he said.
“I want people to see it, regardless of your age or situation, there are steps that you can lead a healthy, more lively life. This walking is about to prove that possibility.”
