***Stop Alzheimer's and Dementia by Eating Curcumin?

First, what is curcumin? nCurcumin is a component of the spice tumeric, and can be found in typical Indian foods known as curries, or can be taken as a dietary supplement.nnSecond, how does curcumin prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia? nResearch has shown that curcumin prevents the spread of amyloid protein plaques - thought to cause dementia - in the brain. nnThird, how I can get more curcumin in my diet? nCurries, eaten regularly in Indian communities, contain tumeric and hence curcumin. Research has shown that these Indian communities have a surprisingly low incidence of Alzheimer's. But research also suggests that the proper dose of curcumin to prevent dementia is over 100 g of curry power. This clinical dose may be hard to get through diet. JIVA Curcumin & Fermented Soy Plus and JIVA Fermented Soy & Curcumin Nutritional Beverage offer 500 mg of curcumin per serving. Taken twice a day on a regular basis, this level of curcumin could prevent the debilitating and demeaning illness of Alzheimer's and dementia, plus contain the added health benefits of fermented soy. nnThe Diabetes & Alzheimer's Link Diabetes sufferers worry about such complications as heart disease, nerve damage and kidney failure. To add to this already too long list, now research is showing a possible link between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Some studies show that just having high blood pressure may be enough to increase the chances of developing Alzheimer's disease. n nDr. Vijaya Nair, founder of JIVA Supplements, has spent years of research finding support for the newly accepted theory that most diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, have a root cause in common: chronic inflammation. The body creates an inflammatory response when it encounters toxins in our environment, anxiety, illnesses or other stressors. This inflammation then causes disease. n nJIVA's nutritional supplements contain ingredients shown to regulate the body's inflammatory response to stressors.
