***Eat your Polyphenols
Featuring Steffan Abel
A diet rich in antioxidants could delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease or even slow down its evolution according to researchers in Spain.
The latest research suggests that the nerves and nerve pathways of the brain which are susceptible to being destroyed by age and neural diseases such as Alzheimer's disease can be strengthened through increasing dietary polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
In the study, a cream rich in both polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids (which is a patented mixture of dried fruits, nuts and vegetable oils made by La Morella Nuts) was added to the normalrndiet of mice.
The study, scheduled to be published in the journal of Alzheimer's Disease, finds mice eating the cream for 40 days had a significantly higher amount of brain stem cells than the mice not eating the cream.
I think that any changes to the diet or added to it by the use of supplements is a far better option than medications and drugs – and these changes are easy to make...
Polyphenols can be found in tea, beer, grapes, wine, olive oil, cocoa, nuts and other fruits and vegetables. Polyunsaturated fatty acids can be found in blue fish and vegetables such as corn, soy beans, sunflowers and pumpkins - all of which and more are discussed in my book The Alzheimer's Alternative.
