Nutrition Research On Alzheimer's Disease And Brain Health
by News Canada
by News Canada
Alzheimer's Disease is a degenerative brain disease that can cause a person to forget
recent events or familiar tasks. Recent research has shown that a diet rich in
antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, may protect against Alzheimer's disease
and slow the progression of the disease in people already diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
It is believed that people with low levels of folate and vitamin B12 in their blood may
be at a higher risk of Alzheimer's Disease.
Those who find it hard to incorporate a range of healthy foods into their diet should
consider taking a daily multivitamin. A good multivitamin/mineral supplement, such as
Centrum®, which includes vitamins C, B6, E, D, folic acid and minerals such as iron,
zinc and selenium, could improve mental functioning and help delay the onset of
Alzheimer's disease.

(NC)-Recent research has shown
a benefit of certain nutrients in
reducing the risk of degenerative
diseases of the brain.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins E,
C, B12 and folic acid have been
shown to play an important role
in healthy brain functioning.
Antioxidants, often found in fruits
and vegetables, have also been
associated with improved mental
function, including memory.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid may
also have beneficial effects on
overall cognitive abilities.
