The diet that helps the heart keeps the brain young
Foods recommended to reduce cardiovascular risk are a blessing .
Foods that are good for the heart keep the brain young. According to the latest data, presented in Vienna at the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease, a table, you can do much to prevent or at least slow down Alzheimer's: the food that are typically recommended in the diet to reduce cardiovascular risk are a cure for the brain, and also vitamin D, and spices such as curry can reveal unsuspected talents protective.
DIET - The first study to be useful to research conducted by some doctors at the University of Utah, USA, who were testing the DASH diet . This is a diet designed to reduce the pressure, very similar in their tenets to the typical Mediterranean diet (lots of fruits and vegetables, nuts, whole cereals, fish, dairy products low in fat), try it on 3800 over 65 researchers have noticed that is also very good against Alzheimer's. Indeed, a re-evaluating 11 years after the first visit to the elderly involved an estimate of their cognitive abilities, it soon became clear that the more each member of the greater DASH diet, the more likely it was to keep the brain functioning and to protect from dementia . The elements of the diet associated to the anti-Alzheimer were vegetables, nuts, whole grains and dairy products low in fat: those who ate more of the brain was perfectly shaped and more than 75 years. The reason, according to scholars, it is quite intuitive: because this diet is very effective to keep the low pressure or hypertension is one of the recognized risk factors for Alzheimer's, the DASH diet is an excellent way to prevent disease .
THERAPY - Some went further. Milan Fiala, from the University of Los Angeles, has tried vitamin D and Curcumin, a substance found in curry, the serum of nine patients with Alzheimer's in an attempt to understand whether they can even have a therapeutic role. According to the first data collected and published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, it looks so. Fiala isolated monocytes, blood cells that form the "garbage" and transformed into macrophages, clean fabrics from waste substances, their macrophages should remove the beta-amyloid, the protein that, when it aggregates in Alzheimer's forming plaques that "stifle" the cells of the brain. The monocytes of patients, made with vitamin D or Curcumin (natural or synthetic, that is more easily absorbed by our body and acts for longer), have shown greater activity "eat-amyloid: is better to attack the protein to incorporate and destroy faster and better. "In practice, vitamin D and Curcumin may stimulate the immune system to cleanse the brain of plaques of beta-amyloid - says Fiala -. In our previous work we demonstrated that there are two types of patients with Alzheimer's, those who respond to Curcumin and those which did not effect the first substance may even be a new therapeutic option, perhaps in combination with vitamin D since the two substances appear to act on the immune system and on macrophages in a somewhat 'different. In any case, Curcumin and vitamin D may have a preventive role against interesting of AD. At the moment, we can not show tilted in recommended doses. " That the curry can be good for the brain confirms Tiziana bag, Head of Cell Death and Neuroprotection in the Department of Neuroscience of the Mario Negri Institute of Milan: "Just this year another American scientist has conducted studies on curry, reaching to say that along with a balanced diet and exercise this spice can become the anti-Alzheimer future. For now, nothing confirmed, but hypotheses are interesting to explore and consider. "
OMEGA-3 - bag at the table confirms that we can do much to prevent the disease: "It was demonstrated, for example, a strong correlation between Alzheimer's and diabetes: the insulin receptors on the neurons of people with Alzheimer's will be reduced 80 percent compared to healthy brains. Therefore, the dietary rules of use in preventing diabetes are also applicable to the prevention of this neurodegenerative disease - explains the researcher -. Other nutrients that seem decidedly important to prevent the degeneration of AD are the omega-3 fatty acids, those of fish docosahexaenoico acid or DHA, found in high concentrations in cold water fish, significantly slows the development of reducing the disease of amyloid plaques. Are recommended for the prevention of coronary heart disease, heart attack and complications of diabetes are recommended to women during pregnancy: the current data suggest that should be made to keep your brain in shape longer. Finally - concludes bag - the vitamins of group B are considered excellent long allied against many degenerative diseases. "
