Can prevent Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (and other intellectual impairments) attacks the brain in a way that gradually increases the level of damage, causing patients to suffer from memory loss, confusion and mood swings. The terminal illness also loses the ability to walk, talk and eat. However, daily use of a cup of tea or coffee can help us prevent this disease. According to research results recently announced at the International Conference on Alzheimer's disease, which has just taken place in Hawaii (USA), both drinks have been proven to reduce 40% of dementia. . Scientists at the University of California say people over 65 years of age drinking tea regularly have less signs of dementia than those who don't drink tea 37%. And those who drank coffee at least 5 cups / week restricted 20% of the risk of memory impairment compared to those who did not drink.

Another American study found that eating pecans also helps prevent memory impairment. According to the results of experiments on mice, those with a variety of grain diets significantly improved their ability to learn and remember. Scientists believe that this fruit also has similar benefits in humans, but more research is needed. Pecans can help reduce the risk, delay or slow the progress of Alzheimer's disease.

Not only eating, lifestyle can also help reduce the risk of dementia. According to a study by Boston University (USA), older people who regularly exercise at moderate levels like golf or jogging can limit the risk of Alzheimer's disease. After studying 1,200 people with an average age of 76, scientists found that physical activity had a major impact on limiting memory decline, especially for men. Professor Clive Ballard of the Alzheimer's Association (USA) says movement is one of the best ways to limit the risk of dementia. 'We all know: What is good for the heart is also good for the body. Whether playing a game of golf, walking in the air or running on a machine, exercising 5 times a week (every 30 minutes) is helpful for people of all ages. '

In addition, spending time for outdoor activities to heat the sun is also a way to prevent illness. People with vitamin D deficiency have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Experts at the University of Exeter (UK) study more than 3,300 people over 65 years of age conclude that people who are deficient in vitamin D are nearly five times more likely to suffer from dementia. Although it can be supplemented by food sources such as fish oil and eggs, most of vitamin D is synthesized by the body when skin is exposed to sunlight.
