(Health Secrets) It’s time to learn how to fight Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is all too common, as it affects 10% of the population over 65. There are many different theories as to the cause of Alzheimer’s, but no one has been able to draw a direct connection. The only commonality and truth between theories is that Alzheimer’s greatly damages the hippocampus in the brain which is the center for memory and intelligence.

It is highly agreed upon that Alzheimer’s is partly hereditary with a major environmental factor. At the University of Calgary a research team did an in vitro study that showed mercury vapors produced very similar lesions in the brain to those produced by Alzheimer’s disease. Other significant factors found were the forming of free radicals in the blood as well as a deficiency of B1, Folic Acid, & B12.
Eat to fight Alzheimer’s
The main basic principles in eating to prevent Alzheimer’s are to stay away from processed foods and to make fresh organic vegetables and fruits the centerpiece of your diet. Vitamins A,C and E are always crucial in fighting free radicals in the blood, so make sure you eat plenty of fresh produce throughout the day.Another principle to abide by is consuming lots of salmon, tuna, halibut, or cod, all of which are high in DHA and EPA. If you don’t like fish, buy organic eggs from chickens fed with high DHA and EPA feed. Check the writing on the carton to determine whether eggs fit that criteria. DHA is an essential fatty acid that is involved in brain function, and EPA reduces inflammation. Along with that, increase your use of turmeric, a very strong natural anti-inflammatory.
